Eddie Howe’s side fought back from a goal down after Philip Billing struck the opener with Alexander Isak striking the equaliser from the spot, following VAR’s intevention to penalise Jefferson Lerma for handling Kieran Trippier’s cross. Since a 9-0 humbling to Liverpool, the Cherries are unbeaten in three under caretaker boss Gary O’Neil. The Magpies could have taken the lead in the first half after Trippier and Joelinton both hit the woodwork, but Jordan Zemura’s cross saw Billing poke home the opener to silence St James’ Park. Eddie Howe is now under pressure, though his side did show character to battle back for a point, with a trip to Fulham awaiting them after the international break.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
Despite dominating possession and striking the woodwork twice in the first half, Newcastle remain level with a resilient Bournemouth team at the break. The Magpies have been on the front foot for most of the match so far, and would have had a merited lead if either Trippier's free-kick or Joelinton's close-range shot had been just a little more accurate. Meanwhile, the visitors have posed an occasional threat on the counter, but their ambition has been fairly limited so far - will it be more of the same after the interval?
