Newcastle 2 Cardiff 1 – Saturday 5 November 3pm

It was eight wins in a row as Newcastle eventually overcame Cardiff City.

Goals at the start and end of the first half had looked to put the table toppers well in control.

However, things got a bit sloppy and Newcastle allowed the visitors a foothold back in the game.

United facing a slightly tense close to the game after missed chances and then a consolation goal from Whittingham made the result far closer than it should have been.
