A raft of changes made by each side after that goal.

On-loan Manchester City player Tommy Doyle is one of those entering the action for Cardiff.

That is the last place you go for a nutmeg if you a Cardiff player. Just kick it out. It has killed the game for them.

Careful Will Vaulks, careful.

The Cardiff man wants a corner and then screams in the face of the lineman and referee Andy Madley comes striding across.

"You're on a yellow," he says.

Caoimhin Kelleher off his line again but makes a better judgement this time, heading away as Jordan Hugill was chasing.

Matt: Guarantee that if both incidents were whilst Liverpool were attacking they would have had a penalty in the first half and that would have been a red card.

portmanlovesme: So let's get this right... you can fly off your line, studs, front on, miss the ball and take the player, stop an attack and allow your defence to get back into shape. And all you get is a yellow. Got it.

Harvey Elliott doesn't look like he has been away.

The former Fulham player shifts the ball onto his left peg before firing wide from outside the area.

Changes for Cardiff too.

Mark Harris and James Collins make way for Isaak Davies and Jordan Hugill.

How has he not made it two??

A gilt-edged opportunity for Diogo Jota to double his and Liverpool's tally but he sends a free volley wide from eight yards out.

Perhaps the biggest cheer of the day from Liverpool's fans has been reserved for that double substitution.

Not only is this a debut for new signing Luis Diaz but Harvey Elliott comes on for his first appearance since suffering that awful injury in September.

A huge ovation for both players.

Double change for Liverpool.

Teenager Harvey Elliott, that's Elliott, gets a standing ovation as he returns to action after a horrible ankle injury.

Colombian Luis Diaz also gets a debut off the bench.

Curtis Jones and Naby Keita make way.

Nearly a quick-fire double for Liverpool.

Roberto Firmino meets Kostas Tsimkas' cross with a header of his own, but he is no Diogo Jota with his bonce and it ends up being a weaker effort into the hands of Dillon Phillips.

Diogo Jota is not the tallest in the world but he has a fantastic header. That is a stunning header into the far corner.

Cardiff's Will Vaulks into the book for a tug on a red shirt.

Steve Stone's Mullett: Maybe i'm cynical, but if that was a Cardiff foul on a Liverpool player, it's a red card.

Mark Willis: As a Liverpool fan, believe this is our worst performance in years. Game not over yet of course...

Liverpool have a corner which is worked to Curtis Jones around 30 yards out, but it is a wild hit from the Liverpool midfielder, sending his shot into the Kop.

Caoimhin Kelleher raked his studs down the back of Mark Harris' leg but they felt it wasn't enough for a red card.

Play goes on.

Liverpool 0-0 Cardiff

It's being looked at by VAR.

The challenge is a nasty one from Caoimhin Kelleher, catching Mark Harris on his leg with his studs.

But the officials decide a yellow card will suffice.

I think there is one player with him. In days gone past that would have been a sending off. There is a question to be asked there.

Kelleher made a rotten decision there, don't come out.
