Newcastle x Bournemouth - Highlights, Summary and Match Report
Bournemouth emerged from St. James' Park with all three points after a 2-1 victory over Newcastle in the Premier League. In a match played on level terms for long spells, the visitors struck first through Marcus Tavernier in the 32nd minute, with Rayan supplying the assist from close range.
Newcastle responded after the break and found a way back into the game in the 68th minute, when Will Osula scored to make it 1-1. The home side enjoyed more of the ball, finishing with 54% possession, but could not turn that control into a decisive advantage in front of goal.
Just when it seemed the points might be shared, Bournemouth delivered the decisive blow in the 85th minute. Adrien Truffert finished from close range with his left foot, after an assist from Evanilson, to restore the visitors' lead and settle the contest in their favour.
The numbers reflected how tight the match was, with both sides registering 12 shots, although Bournemouth's expected goals total of 3.41 underlined the greater threat they carried in the final third. Newcastle ended with 1.87 expected goals and three shots on target, but Bournemouth's sharper finishing proved the difference.
