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.

Saint-Maximin capitalises on good work from Almiron in defence. The winger cuts inside from the right flank, only to blaze his effort harmlessly over the bar.

Bournemouth attempt a piece of trickery from a set-piece. And although Zemura gets past Almiron down the left flank, Trippier gets across to guide the ball out for a goal-kick.

SAVE Longstaff pounces on a mistake from Zemura and looks for space for a strike. He has Gordon in support, but goes himself and sees his effort saved by Neto.

Lerma looks for the ball in behind again for Ouattara, but again he gets too much power on his pass and it allows Pope to clear.

Lerma looks to release Ouattara behind the Newcastle defence, but Pope is sharp off his line to clear ahead of the winger.

Ouattara clips a cross into the box that Trippier does well to head away from Billing before Traore lifts an effort over the top.
