Andy Carrol was the catalyst for a magnificent Toon Army performance at St James’ Park on Friday night. The giant Newcastle United striker scored two and laid on another all in the first 15 minutes.
Then Peter Lovenkrands put in a fantastic cameo effort for the final half hour scoring twice after coming on as a sub. The Bluebirds scored a late consolation but nothing could take the gloss off this five star show that took Newcastle United 6 points clear at the top of the Championship table.
What a game! London Road was treated to an eight goal thriller as promotion chasing Cardiff City rushed into a four goal half time lead only to see the Posh come back from the dead and scored two goals in the last two minutes to see the game leveled.
