It wasn't the most exciting game to kick off the second weekend of Premier League football this season, but seeing two footballing twins on opposite sides was enough reason to tune in.
Cardiff's Josh Murphy and Newcastle's Jacob Murphy played against one another competitively for the first time, making Premier League history in the process.
Both came through the ranks at Norwich City, before Jacob got his dream move to Newcastle United ahead of the 2017/18 this season.
But it wasn't long before his brother joined him in the top flight, penning a deal with Neil Warnock's Cardiff and potentially becoming only the second set of twins to square off in the Premier League.

The first ones to do so were Michael and Will Keane, who came up against one another in the game between Burnley and Hull City on 10 September 2016 - the same day that Josh replaced Jacob to score a winner for Norwich against Cardiff.
Jacob says it will be a surreal experience playing against his brother and joked they might even swap shirts at half-time and play on the other team.

"We have never played against each other competitively," he revealed in an interview with the Daily Star.
"It will be strange having to tackle him. We will swap shirts at full time. Or maybe half time and have a go on each other's teams."
The 23-year olds would easily get away with it, as well. When at Norwich, Chris Hughton made them wear different coloured boots so he could distinguish between the two of them.
What a moment!
