Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon equalised 14 minutes from time to secure a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday and spoil their hosts’ 125th anniversary celebrations.
Marcus Tavernier put Bournemouth ahead in the first half but Gordon stole in at the back post to steer home a 76th-minute cross from substitute Harvey Barnes to ensure a deserved share of the spoils.
Newcastle advanced to four points from their opening two games of the season. Bournemouth drew their opener at Nottingham Forest.
Bournemouth, hoping for a win to mark their anniversary festivities, had the ball in the net in stoppage time for what looked initially to be a dramatic late winner but Dango Ouattara’s effort was ruled out for handball after a VAR check.

A dramatic finish to the game as Bournemouth and Newcastle finishes 1-1. The hosts believed that they had won the game with an Ouattara header from a corner but it was ruled out for a handball, but Bournemouth would argue it was his shoulder. The hosts will feel their performance deserved all three points after they took the lead in the first-half after Tavernier turned the ball into the net after Bournemouth won the ball from Joelinton with a perfect press and Semenyo drove into the penalty area to cross the ball across the six-yard box to Tavernier to make it 1-0. While Newcastle will feel their equaliser was justified by their control of possession, 60 percent. Gordon got onto to a cross from Barnes with the ball swinging towards the back post for Gordon to apply the finish to make it 1-1. The hosts believed they secured victory in the final minutes to celebrate the week of their 125th birthday perfectly but it was ruled out by VAR. And Iraola’s side will feel their XG of 2.23 from their 16 shots, four of them on target should have earned them the victory, compared to the 1.61 xG from Newcastle’s 14 shots, five of them on target. Howe will be wondering what he has to do to earn his first victory against his former side but he will be happy to have left with a point after a poor performance away in Bournemouth.

Newcastle almost steal it at the death. An effort by Guimaraes from the edge of the penalty area. The Newcastle captain bent the ball towards the top left corner of the Bournemouth goal but at full stretch Neto parried it away for a corner.
