Newcastle rally from two goals down to earn Bournemouth draw
LONDON: Newcastle surged back from a two-goal deficit against Bournemouth on Saturday to draw 2-2 and extend their unbeaten start to the season after a period of intense upheaval at the club.
Newcastle defied a two-goal deficit to earn a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at St James' Park, extending their unbeaten start to the season following recent turmoil. Matthias Jaissle's side trailed 2-0 by the 35th minute after Marcus Tavernier's close-range finish and Malick Thiaw's own goal, both deflections. Harvey Barnes' stunning curling effort less than two minutes later shifted the momentum.
Despite struggling in the second half, substitute Jacob Ramsey's 88th-minute goal ensured Newcastle shared the points. The club, unbeaten all competitions this season, appointed Jaissle last month after Eddie Howe's departure. Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Anthony Gordon left the club, but they signed eight new players in a "transformational" summer transfer window.
Bournemouth, under new head coach Marco Rose, took an early lead through Alex Scott's deflected shot, which Tavernier converted. Bournemouth doubled their lead when Justin Kluivert's shot hit the post and rebounded off Hornicek, then Sandro Tonali scored for Bournemouth. Newcastle's Barnes' equalizer sparked renewed hope, but Bournemouth's late goal secured the draw.
