LONDON (Reuters) - Newcastle United kept alive their slender hopes of winning England's Championship (second division) title on Friday when two goals in 10 minutes from Christian Atsu and Isaac Hayden gave them a 2-0 win at Cardiff in their penultimate game of the season.
The win put already-promoted Newcastle one point behind leaders Brighton & Hove Albion. The south-coast club can snatch the crown with a game to spare if they win at home to Bristol City on Saturday.
