Justice, claims Warnock
“I think his arm was close to being outside the box,’’ said Warnock.
“His body is inside the box, but it was a hairline.
“But no complaints if you put your hand up.’’
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez admitted he was unhappy after losing right-back Javier Manquillo to injury and seeing his replacement Hayden sent off.
The problems in that department came on the back of Newcastle losing first-choice right-back Deandre Yedlin to a knee injury against Tottenham Hotspur on the opening weekend of the season. “There were too many things that I didn’t like during that game,’’ said Benitez.
“There were too many decisions that can go in your favour or against you.
“They say there was a tackle on Manquillo.
“In the end, I don’t think we can complain about the referee.’’
On a match which saw both sides collect their first points of the season, Benitez added: “It was a very strange game.
“We knew it was going to be physical and a difficult afternoon.
“We put ourselves under pressure and made too many mistakes.
“The effort was there, but I was disappointed overall.’’ Cardiff CITY: Etheridge 8; Manga 7, Morrison 7, Bamba 7; Bennett 6, Camarasa 6 (Reid 76, 6), Ralls 7, Arter 7; Murphy 6 (Mendez-laing
