Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez on Match of the Day: "It was a difficult game against a physical team, and we played a lot with 10 players.

On Kenedy's miss: "It was a poor penalty, he's not happy he missed a good chance. We win as a team and lose as a team. I am not concerned about the fact he missed a penalty - he has to take responsibility."

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock on Match of the Day: "I don't think the lads deserved to lose with a penalty like that.

"Kenedy was a lucky lad [when he kicked out]. There is stuff to work on for us - we were disappointing with our free-kicks.

"No disrespect, but having watched Birmingham last night, thank goodness we came out to a full house to play Newcastle in the Premier League."
