Newcastle United 1-4 Bournemouth: Premier League – as it happened

Eddie Howe: “We weren’t there today”

Newcastle 1-4 Bournemouth

The race for the Golden Boot: Now with updated Justin Kluivert in seventh place on 10 goals …

Dan Burn: “It was hard to recover”

Antoine Semenyo: “We needed to get the press right”

A fine win for Bournemouth: The more you think about it, the more impressive that win for Bournemouth becomes as they extended their unbeaten run to 11 games in all competitions.

Andoni Iraola led a side missing 12 memberso f its first-team squad into the belly of the Premier League’s most rampant, in-form beast and completely nullified the impact of Alexander Isak, while spanking four goals past hosts with a defence noted for its parimony.

It’s a remarkable coaching effort on Andoni Iraola’s part and unfortunately for Bournemouth, the young Spaniard is inevitably going to attract admiring glances from other, much wealthier clubs. Spurs spring to mind for a kick-off!

The table: Bournemouth’s emphatic win moves them up to sixth in the table, level on points with Chelsea but behind them on goal difference. Both teams are a point behind Newcastle, who stay in fourth place for now but could be leapfrogged by one or possibly both of Chelsea and Manchester City before the weekend is out.

Justin Kluivert: “This feels lovely,” says Bournemouth’s hat-trick hero in an interview with TNT Sports. “We know how tough it is to play here especially with the long run they had of the winning streak. To come here with all the injuries that we have, I think we are missing 12 first team players … so to come and play like this is wonderful really. Hats off to all the players.”

Upon being told that he has now scored more goals at St James’ Park than his father did despite playing for Newcastle, Kluivert laughs. “It’s lovely to hear those kind of things, you know? I just want to help my team out, win games and be important for the club. I’m happy with the matchball and the win, for sure.”

Full-time: Newcastle 1-4 Bournemouth

90+8 min: Bournemouth bring on a couple of kids for their Premier League debut as St James’ Park empties at a rate of knots. Remy Rees-Dotton and Ben Winterburn take a bow.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-4 Bournemouth (Kerkez 90+6)

90+5 min: Dean Huijsen sticks out a foot to block a goalbound Anthony Gordon shot on the follow-up.

90+4 min: Kluivert’s other hat-trick this season was comprised entirely of penalties but he’s scored with three beautiful finishes this afternoon. Now Jebbison tries to get in on the goalscoring action but he’s foiled by Dubravka, who rushed to the edge of his area to deny the substitute.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-3 Bournemouth (Kluivert 90+3)

90+2 min: Newcastle substitution: Will Osula on for Guimaraes.

90 min: Jebbison tees up Semenyo with a good shooting opportunity in the Newcastle box but big Dan Burn gets back to make a crucial block as the Bournemouth forward pulls the trigger. We’ll have at least seven minutes of added time.

87 min: After a long delay prompted by the reluctance of Bournemouth’s defenders to retreat 10 yards and a protest from Kepa about Tonali standing in his eyeline (as the Italian is perfectly entitled to do), Alexander Isak blasts the free-kick into the wall.

85 min: Lewis Cook does superbly to win the ball from Willock deep in Newcastle territory but is unable to pick out a teammate with his cross from the right. Newcastle break forward and Jebbison gifts them a free-kick just outside the Bournemouth box with a clumsy foul on Tonali. It’s in a great position but who’ll take it?

82 min: Sandro Tonali plays the ball wide to Willock, who is unable to get past Lewis Cook but wins a free-kick out by the touchline from Bournemouth’s makeshift right-back.

Kepa punches the subsequent Trippier inswinger clear, the ball drops perfectly for Gordon on the edge of the area and his sublime, rasping volley is blocked by Dean Huijsen. I’m not sure how much the Bournemouth defender knew about that but it was a crucial intervention.

80 min: Newcastle have made three substitutions, while Bournemouth have yet to make any. A reminder that their only outfield player on the bench with any Premier League experience is Daniel Jebbison. Ah, here we go – he comes on for David Brooks.

79 min: Tino Livramento tries to drill a low cross into the Newcastle penalty area but a touch from Lewis Cook is enough to take the sting out of his delivery and steer it towards the waiting arms of Kepa.

77 min: The ball finally breaks Isak’s way in the Newcastle penalty area but the high bounce means he’s unable to control it and get a shot away before Huijsen gets in his way and relieves him of possession.

75 min: Referee Stuart Attwell waves his yellow card in the direction of the Bournemouth bench, where assistant coach Tommy Elphick had been complaining about Joelinton going unpunished for what the visitors felt was a foul on Milos Kerkez. It looked a 50-50 tussle to me, if I’m honest and certainly not worthy of a second yellow card.

73 min: Gordon wriggles down the inside left and his cross is blocked by the head of Zabarnyi. The ball loops up in the air and Kepa grabs it with his gloved paws.

72 min: Joelinton is played in behind to the byline but his pull-back is put out for a corner by some frantic last-ditch defending from Kerkez. Nothing comes of the set-piece.

70 min: Martin Dubravka is forced into a desperate save, scrambling across his goal line after David Brooks had steered an Antoine Semenyo cross from the left towards the far corner.

67 min: A Joe Willock cross aimed towards Alexander Isak on the edge of the Bournemouth six-yard box is headed away by Dean Huijsen. Isak has been starved of service today, barely getting a sniff of the ball. Newcastle need to get Anthony Gordon on it so he can take on Lewis Cook and try to provide some service for his team’s in-form striker.

64 min: There’s a break in play so a couple of players can receive treatement. Newcastle double-substitution: Joe Willock and Kieran Trippier on for Jacob Murphy and Lewis Hall.

62 min: Nothing comes of the corner Bournemouth were forced to settle for instead of a goal.

Bournemouth have a goal disallowed!

59 min: Another free-kick for Newcastle, this time wide on the left. Gordon’s low delivery is poor and fails to clear the first man, Justin Kluivert.

58 min: Gordon curls a free-kick into the Bournemouth penalty area from deep but Christie clears with another glancing header out wide.

57 min: Anthony Gordon plays a short pass to Lewis Hall in the Bournemouth box but isn’t expecting the return ball that’s quickly backheeled into his path. Or what would have been his path if he’d continued his run.

55 min: Behind on the scoreboard, Newcastle currently have the momentum on the pitch, despite repeatedly conceding cheap possession to their visitors. They’ll probably continue to assert their dominance as the game progresses, given Bournemouth’s lack of experienced options to turn to on the bench. Those out on the pitch in Bournemouth shirts will start to tire due to their relentless intensity.

53 min: Anthony Gordon takes on Illia Zabarnyi down the left and drives a low ball across the Bournemouth penalty area. It’s cleared.

52 min: Newcastle corner. Lewis Hall’s delivery is cleared out towards the touchline courtesy of a glancing header from Ryan Christie.

50 min: Gordon gives the ball away, allowing Ryan Christie to burst forward for Bournemouth. He outmuscles Lewis Hall en route to the Newcastle penalty area but eventually runs into traffic in the form of Fabian Schar, who tidies up for the hosts.

48 min: Fabian Schar makes an early impact, but it’s not the kind he was hoping for. Without looking, he passes the ball square across his own penalty area to the feet of David Brooks. Luckily for the Newcastle substitute, the Bournemouth winger shoots straight at Martin Dubravka.

47 min: Milos Kerkez curls a cross into and beyond Newcastle’s penalty area and Bournemouth win a corner. Dean Huijsen gets a firm header on the delivery to the far post but is unable to steer it goalwards.

Second half: Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth

Half-time: Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth

45+4 min: Kepa flings himself to his left to keep out an on-target drive from Sandro Tonali and that’s the last action of a hugely entertaining first half.

45+3 min: There’s something of a bust-up as Joelinton and Illia Zabarnyi start pushing and shoving each other after the Newcastle midfielder had fouled Justin Kluivert.Joelinton is booked, while Kluivert and Tyler Adams also have their names taken. Adams for a foul in the build-up to Joelinton’s scything challenge. I have no idea what Kluivert did to merit having his name taken.

45+2 min: Fun fact: Justin Kluivert has now scored more goals at St James’ Park than his dad, Patrick, who spent a season playing for Newcastle United.

45+1 min: Bournemouth attack on the counter at lightning speed again, pouncing on a mistake from Lewis Hall. Justin Kluivert zips forward and plays the ball inside to David Brooks, who eschews an early shooting opportunity. In the process, he affords Lewis Hall the time he needs to recover and clear up at the back for Newcastle.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth (Kluivert 44)

42 min: Kluivert gallops upfield with the ball at his feet after Ryan Christie had robbed Joelinton of possession. Bournemouth have four players sweeping forward but a promising attack breaks down when David Brooks overhits his cross from the right.

41 min: Bruno Guimaraes curls an inswinger to the far post but there’s too a little too much whip on his delivery and the ball sails wide.

40 min: Anthony Gordon tries his luck with a shot from the edge of the Bournemouth penalty area. His effort fizzes wide, taking a nick off Kerkez on its way. From the corner, Newcastle win another …

38 min: Dango Ouattara heads high over the Newcastle bar after getting underneath a good Lewis Cook cross from the right. He should have hit the target but mistimed his jump.

35 min: Stuart Attwell penalises Joelinton for some indiscretion or other halfway inside the Bournemouth half and gives him a telling-off. A less lenient, more fussy referee would have booked three or four players by now.

34 min: Tonali plays the ball wide to Murphy, who tries to link up with Guimaraes by playing the Brazilian in behind. His pass is deflected and Bournemouth regain possession.

32 min: Bournemouth win a throw-in deep in Newcastle territory as their former manager scribbles on a notepad while standing alongside his No2, Jason Tindall, on the edge of the home side’s technical area.

Kluivert squares the ball through the Newcastle penalty area but Ryan Christie’s low shot takes a nick off Tino Livramento on its way wide. The match officials don’t notice and award Newcastle a goal-kick despite Christie’s entirely valid protestations that it should be a corner for Bournemouth.

29 min: Newcastle have grown into this game after their sluggish start and Bruno’s second goal of the campaign has settled any jitters on the pitch and in the stands. We’ll have more goals in this game, I’ll happily wager, and as things stand the home side look more likely to get the next one.

27 min: Questions will be asked of Kepa in the post mortem of that goal. He got a big hand to Bruno’s header but was unable toi prevent the ball crossing the line. The Spaniard may well argue that he was unsighted and spotted the ball late as it fizzed through a thicket of bodies.
