Neil Warnock Claims Cardiff Were 'Comfortable' Against Newcastle Despite 3-0 Loss

Neil Warnock says that Newcastle United striker Salomón Rondón proved to be the difference during Cardiff City's 3-0 defeat at St. James' Park, although he believes that the Bluebirds were comfortable throughout the 90 minutes on Saturday.

Defender Fabian Schär scored twice for the hosts before Ayoze Pérez tapped the ball into an empty net in added time, latching onto Rondón's squared pass following some clever footwork from the Venezuela international.

On the face of things, Newcastle appeared to cruise through the game while Cardiff never really caused Rafa Benitez's side any problems, but Warnock insists that his side weren't overawed by the Magpies.
