Ben Parkinson 5/10
(Miley 66') Should have probably reacted faster after the ball ricocheted off him into the path of Solanke in the build-up to the home side’s second goal; Emil Krafth (Willock 90+5') - N/A: A late chaShow more
Neto 6/10
BOURNEMOUTH RATINGS: Of the two keepers, the Brazilian had much the quieter game. Tipped a rising Longstaff drive from distance over the bar. AFP
Max Aarons 7/10
Dealt well with the threat of Gordon on the right side of defence, and offered a reliable outlet in the final third as the home side took control of proceedings from the first minute. PA
Illia Zabarnyi 8/10
An outstanding performance next to Senesi in defence. He stayed close to Joelinton and forced the striker back into midfield. AFP
Marcos Senesi 7/10
Kept things simple and dealt with everything thrown at him. Action Images
Lloyd Kelly 6/10
Really good, strong defending to shield Almiron off the ball and stop him from causing damage in the 27th minute. Reuters
Ryan Christie 7/10
Had the first shot on target in the game with an effort straight at Pope after just 40 seconds. Had another go from the edge of the penalty area 30 minutes into the game and forced the England internaShow more
Lewis Cook 7/10
Excellent as the base of the Cherries’ midfield. The midfielder sat back, helped break up attacks and also kickstarted moves for the home side. Reuters
Antoine Semenyo 7/10
Stung Pope’s palms with a low left-footed effort two minutes into the game. Should have at least tested the Magpies’ keeper when he was played through on goal in the 37th minute. Has to improve his fiShow more
Justin Kluivert 7/10
Tested Pope with a swerving effort 28 minutes into the game. Caused plenty of problems for Newcastle’s fullbacks with his dribbling. PA
Marcus Tavernier 8/10
Tracked back well and made a last-ditch clearance to stop Ritchie from getting on the end of Gordon’s cross in the 39th minute. Called Pope into action with a superb effort in the second half. AFP
Dominic Solanke 9/10
Impressive hold-up play and cheeky flick to set up Semenyo in the 37th minute. Opened the scoring with a low finish on the hour mark. Made it two with a close-range finish 73rd minute. AFP
Adam Smith 7/10
SUBS: (Aarons 68') Looked solid against Gordon and Willock on the right. Made a good recovery challenge to stop Willock from finding a green shirt in the penalty area late in the game. AFP
Luis Sinisterra 7/10
(Kluivert 68') Played a huge part in the second goal as his header came off the post and into the path of Solanke to make it two. Forced Pope into a low save in the 88th minute. Reuters
Joe Rothwell N/A
(Tavenier 90') Came on late and did little wrong; Dango Ouattara (Semenyo 80') - N/A: Should have made it three after he got past Lascelles and only had Pope to beat late in the game, but he shot straShow more
Nick Pope 7/10
NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Called into action twice in the first two minutes of the game and came up with good saves on both occasions. Conceded two goals but ended the game with 11 saves to keep the scorelinShow more
Kieran Trippier 5/10
A loose pass just after the restart almost gifted Bournemouth a goal, but Solanke failed to take full advantage of the error. Put in a lovely freekick that caused plenty of problems in the home side’sShow more
Jamaal Lascelles 6/10
Made an important block to thwart Solanke in the 11th minute. Made several interceptions and clearances late on to keep the scoreline respectable. AFP
Fabian Schar 5/10
Struggled against the strength and pace of Solanke up top. Got caught ball-watching as Solanke ran across to put the home side ahead. Reuters
Lewis Hall 5/10
Excellent last-ditch interception to half a Bournemouth counterattack in the ninth minute. Endured a tough first half against the strong and powerful Semenyo. Brought off at half-time for Livramento. Show more
Sean Longstaff 5/10
Had the away side’s first attempt at goal with a swerving effort that Neto had to tip behind. Part of a Newcastle midfield that got overrun by Bournemouth’s more athletic midfield. Reuters
Lewis Miley 6/10
Deployed at the base of Newcastle’s defence, Miley looked assured on the ball and kept things simple. Coped well against Bournemouth's physical play. Reuters
Joe Willock 5/10
Not the best of outings for Willock, who struggled to get involved and make things happen in the final third. Unlucky to inadvertently assist Solanke's goal after pinching the ball off Semenyo. ReuterShow more
Miguel Almiron 5/10
Forced off with an injury 30 minutes into the game. PA
Anthony Gordon 6/10
Had a good chance to bring the game level two minutes after the Magpies went behind, but he could only shoot straight at Neto from a promising position. Reuters
Joelinton 4/10
Played up top as the lone striker, Joelinton looked lost and failed to make an impact. Reuters
Matt Ritchie 5/10
SUBS: (Almiron 31') Brought on to play on the right side of attack, Ritchie was ineffective in his unfamiliar role and failed to test Lloyd Kelly. Getty Images
Tino Livramento 6/10
(Hall 46') Brilliant block to stop Semenyo’s shot from testing Pope in the 50th minute. Looked more solid than Hall on the left side of defence. ReutersBen Parkinson 5/10
