AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Bourneouth 1-1 Newcastle: Miguel Almiron snatched a draw for the Magpies
Miguel Almiron’s 10th goal of the season and a late goal-line clearance by Kieran Trippier ensured Newcastle boss Eddie Howe claimed a point on his Bournemouth return but only after a potentially costly 1-1 draw.
Marcos Senesi poked the struggling Cherries ahead and while Almiron levelled by half-time, the Magpies could not arrest their stuttering form and slumped to a fifth draw from their last six Premier League fixtures.
It may have been worse had Trippier not denied Dominic Solanke’s goalbound flick on the verge of full-time and that ensured the visitors extended their unbeaten top-flight run to 17 matches but injuries to Joe Willock, Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin will be a major concern to Howe with the Carabao Cup final only two weeks away.

AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United
Newcastle's charge towards the Champions League has been blunted slightly after drawing four of their last five matches. However, Eddie Howe's men remain unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League games, their longest run in the competition. They were held to a 1-1 draw last time out by West Ham and have had problems finding the net. Playing the Cherries may allow them to regain their scoring touch.
AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United
Bournemouth are in deep trouble at the bottom of the Premier League, sitting in 19th place with only one win in their last 12 matches. Gary O'Neil's men have not won since November and pressure is growing on the Cherries boss amid his side's slide towards the Championship. Kaoru Mitoma's late strike condemned them to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion last week. High-flying Newcastle will present a huge challenge for the hosts today.
