Cardiff City and Sheffield United remain winless – but also unbeaten – in the Championship this season after an entertaining 2-2 draw at Cardiff City Stadium.<\/p>\n
There were three goals in a chaotic opening seven minutes, with Jack Moylan putting Cardiff ahead only for a Tom Cannon penalty and Callum O’Hare’s neat finish to turn the game around.<\/p>\n
Cian Ashford drew Cardiff level before half-time and the Welsh side looked much more likely to find a second-half winner, with United ultimately happy to avoid defeat after Perry Ng struck the bar late on.<\/p>\n
The Bluebirds and Blades are alongside each other in the middle of the early-season table having each taken three points from three games.<\/p>\n
The opening goal came inside 80 seconds, with United appeals for a foul in midfield ignored as Ashford spread the ball left to Moylan and he cut inside before beating goalkeeper Michael Cooper at his near post.<\/p>\n
Cardiff had barely finished celebrating when Alex Robertson was penalised for a pull on Cannon and he drove home United’s first league goal of the season from the spot.<\/p>\n
The breathless start was not over, with a long ball forward undoing Cardiff as Patrick Bamford fed O’Hare to sweep United in front.<\/p>\n
Cannon might have extended the lead but was denied by goalkeeper Nathan Trott, and with that Cardiff took control.<\/p>\n
Ollie Tanner was central to the equaliser, the winger dancing his way into the box and unleashing a shot which was kicked away by Cooper only for Ashford to sweep home the rebound.<\/p>\n
Tanner had another effort saved after the break before Ng came closest to finding a winner with a drive from outside the area which cannoned off the bar six minutes from the end. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardiff City and Sheffield United remain winless – but also unbeaten – in the Championship this season after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":872881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-872880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=872880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
