Comments:
League position: 15th This was the second time since 1962 that Cardiff City had played a first home game of a top division season. Kenedy's penalty in the fifth minute of added time at the end of the game was saved. Goalkeeper Neil Etheridge had now saved a penalty in the first two games of this Premier League season; the only two games he had played in the Premier League. He became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in consecutive Premier League appearances in the same season since Thomas Sorensen for Sunderland in December 2009 and the second goalkeeper to save a penalty in both of his first two Premier League appearances (also Erik Thorstvedt for Tottenham Hotspur in August 1992). The Bluebirds avoided losing their opening two league games of a season for the first time since 1994-95. City failed to score in three consecutive league games for the first time since November 2015.0 Newcastle United
