Huddersfield ease past Orient, youthful Cardiff win
League Two: Harrogate stun Bristol Rovers at home
Plymouth lost their first game since relegation from the Championship, beaten 3-1 at home by 10-man Barnsley on League One’s opening weekend.
The visitors scored two first-half goals against the run of play as Tom Cleverley’s side dominated, with a series of decisions going against them. Barnsley’s Jack Shepherd – booked in the first half as tempers flared – was then shown a second yellow for handball after an hour, but Argyle could not find a way back into the game, and Davis Keillor-Dunn added the visitors’ third late on. Cleverley was also booked.
Cardiff made a winning start to life under their new manager, Brian Barry-Murphy, after fighting back to win 2-1 at home to Peterborough. The new manager fielded Cardiff’s youngest side this century and they fell behind to Bradley Ihionvien’s first-half penalty. The hosts turned it round after the break through new skipper Rubin Colwill’s free-kick and 18-year-old Ronan Kpakio’s first senior goal, a brilliant long-range finish.
