Kieffer Moore (Solanke, 90) N/A – A late addition as the Cherries looked to waste a bit of time. Reuters
NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Nick Pope 6 – Flapped at a cross early on and was lucky to see Tavernier head over the bar. From that moment, he looked pretty comfortable. He saved well from Christie and Solanke, and rarely looked troubled. Getty
Kieran Trippier 7 – Dangerous as ever from set pieces and his passing was good, but he was sometimes exposed at the other end, leaving space for Bournemouth to attack. He came close to scoring with a trademark free kick, but his effort hit the post. Later, it was from his cross that Newcastle won the penalty that got them back into the game. Getty
Fabian Schar 5 – A poor afternoon for the Swiss defender. His best contribution was when he got on the end of a Targett free kick, but he couldn’t convert. Blazed over late on, too. AFP
Dan Burn 6 – Was caught out of position once or twice, but seemed to have more touches than anyone. Made an excellent last-ditch tackle to prevent Solanke from getting a shot at goal. Getty
Matt Targett 5 – Swung in a dangerous free-kick from which Schar should have done better, but that was as good as it got for the former Aston Villa man. Poor distribution, particularly from free-kicks. PA
Bruno Guimaraes 6 – The deep-lying midfielder was quieter than usual, mainly because he had the ball in deeper areas, but he exuded quality on the ball. One such moment was a perfect through ball that set Almiron through on goal. On another occasion, he won a free-kick in dangerous territory. PA
Joe Willock 5 – Started strongly and was involved in Newcastle’s attacking moves, but his decision making, particularly in the final third, was poor. Getty
Joelinton 6 – Saw a lot of the ball and his attacking runs were a good outlet for the home side. He came close twice, first when his effort cannoned off the bar following a neat lay-off from Fraser, and again when Neto saved the rebound. Was excellent when bringing the ball forward, but tired in the second half. Getty
Ryan Fraser 6 – Booed by the opposition fans and playing on the left of the front three, the former Bournemouth man saw a lot of possession, but his final ball wasn’t great throughout. His highlight was a shot that finished just wide of the post. He also contributed a neat little lay-off to set up Joelinton, who thwacked an effort against the bar. Action Images
Miguel Almiron 6 – Saw plenty of the ball, linked well with Isak, and on one occasion he fed a lovely ball to Willock in a move that saw Isak fashion a shooting opportunity. He had one effort himself, which was comfortably saved. AFP
Alexander Isak 6 – Pulled Newcastle back into the game from the penalty spot with his first goal at St James’s Park. He had little to work with in the way of service or support, but he was always willing to do the dirty work in an effort to win the ball back. Had one header, which didn’t trouble Neto. AFP
SUBS: Jacob Murphy (Fraser, 71) N/A – Poor distribution summed up Murphy’s 19-minute cameo. Had a penalty appeal turned down. Getty
Sean Longstaff (Guimaraes, 71) N/A – Lacked Guimaraes’ quality on the ball and Newcastle’s creativity, or what there was of it, suffered. Reuters
Chris Wood (Almiron, 89) N/A – A late change who didn’t have time to make an impact. Getty
BOURNEMOUTH RATINGS: Neto 8 – Went down with cramp early, but recovered to make some fine saves to keep his side in the game. Was beaten twice before the goal, but had the woodwork to thank for protecting his net. Could do little about the penalty, but was the difference between his side getting a point and not. Getty
Lewis Cook 7 – Cook has formed a decent pairing with Lerma, and the duo did well to stifle Newcastle’s midfield. AFP
Chris Mepham 7 – Classy display from Mepham, who encapsulated Bournemouth’s resilience. Getty
Jefferson Lerma 6 – Dropped deeper as the game went on to form something of a five-man defence. Looked solid throughout, but was guilty of handling Trippier’s cross in the build-up to Newcastle’s equaliser. Action Images
Dominic Solanke 5 – Had a very quiet first half but sprung to life when he had his first sight of goal, forcing Nick Pope into a save. Was booed for wasting time as he exited the pitch slowly at the death. PA
Ryan Christie 6 – Enjoyed plenty of space in the first half and had the first chance of the game but Nick Pope was equal to his deflected effort. Getty
Adam Smith 6 – Went about his business effectively and managed to finish the game without picking up a yellow card; he’d earned four in his last games before today. AFP
Marcus Tavernier 7 – Headed over in the early stages with the goal at his mercy, and then headed wide when the Cherries crossed again after exposing space behind Tripper on the left. He came close again, this time with a left-footed shot that went just wide of the post. AP
Marcos Senesi 6 – With Lloyd Kelly missing, Senesi started his first game since the 9-0 defeat against Liverpool. And though he gave away a free-kick in a dangerous area, which Trippier almost scored, he made the most clearances of any player, with seven. AFP
Phillip Billing 7 – Scored a goal and could have had more. He put Bournemouth ahead when he stuck out a leg to convert Zemura’s cross. Earlier, he’d seen a shot blocked after winning the ball from Guimaraes. AFP
Jordan Zemura 6 – Sent in a teasing cross in the opening stages, which caught out Nick Pope. He was heavily involved in the goal that gave Bournemouth the lead, the left-back utilising acres of space to cross the ball to Billing. AP
SUBS: Jaidon Anthony (Tavernier, 80) N/A – With Tavernier tiring, Anthony came on to add some fresh legs for the last 10 minutes as Newcastle threatened. Reuters
Jack Stacey (Christie, 87) N/A – Played just ahead of Smith in the closing stages. AFP
Jack Stephens (Billing, 90) N/A – His bite was a positive addition at the death. Getty
