Bournemouth grew into the game as it went on, and take a deserved 1-0 lead into the interval. Newcastle started the better of the two teams, controlling possession without creating any clear-cut chances. The visitors also kept Bournemouth at bay easily for the opening 20 minutes. Following a shot by debutant Evanilson stopped expertly by Pope in the Newcastle goal, but this gave confidence to the hosts. Seven minutes later in the 27th minute Bournemouth had struck the bar through Semenyo, as the winger cut in from the edge of the box onto his left foot and rattled the bar. The Cherries pressure continued and eventually the goal came in the 37th minute. A perfect press by Bournemouth allowed Semenyo to nick the ball from Joelinton in the centre of the pitch and he drove into the right-hand side of the Newcastle penalty area. The winger then crossed the ball across the six-yard box for Tavernier to slot home easily. The home side deserve their lead despite having only 46 percent of the ball in the half, but they have used it better creating five shots to Newcastle’s three, with two of their efforts on target compared to the visitor’s one. These chances for the Cherries have been better too, with their xG being 0.92 compared to Newcastle’s 0.14.
