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 and Isak combine down the left flank. Space opens up for the latter to shoot at goal, but his effort is tame and straight at Neto.

Saint-Maximin looks to provide a spark, but he loses out on the edge of the box to Anthony with a solid challenge.
