Newcastle came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Bournemouth at St James’ Park, with substitute Jacob Ramsey scoring in the 88th minute to preserve Matthias Jaissle’s unbeaten start.

Bournemouth took the lead in the ninth minute when Marcus Tavernier fired beyond Lukas Hornicek after Alex Scott’s deflected shot, and they doubled their advantage in the 35th minute when Malick Thiaw inadvertently deflected into his own net.
Harvey Barnes pulled Newcastle back less than two minutes later, and Ramsey then side-footed home from 12 yards after Barnes’ shot was blocked and fell to him.
The result left Bournemouth unbeaten in nine Premier League matches against Newcastle, while they remained winless in three matches this season and had conceded four of their five goals after 80 minutes.
The match also featured Newcastle protests that Anthony Elanga was fouled in the build-up, which the sources say fell on deaf ears as Bournemouth pressed on.
Late-lead pattern
Bournemouth’s late-game issues were central to the post-match framing, with the Opta Analyst report noting that in all three of Bournemouth’s Premier League games this season they have dropped points via goals conceded in the 84th minute or later.
The Opta Analyst piece also highlighted that the Cherries have already dropped seven points from winning positions this season, more than twice as many as any other Premier League club ahead of this weekend’s other fixtures.
At St James’ Park, the Sky Sports report described Bournemouth as having “blow[n] another lead” as Ramsey’s 88th-minute leveller followed stoppage-time goals conceded in their games against Manchester City and Everton.
The Associated Press account likewise said it was the third time this season Bournemouth squandered a lead late in games, after conceding in stoppage time against Manchester City and Everton.
In the same match, the AP report credited Ramsey with firing home from inside the box to spark “wild celebrations from Newcastle fans.”
What it means next
The draw kept Newcastle unbeaten under Matthias Jaissle, with the Reading Chronicle describing how the hosts “could not quite end their hoodoo against Bournemouth” as both teams settled for a point.

The AP report said Newcastle maintained their unbeaten record under new coach Matthias Jaissle, after Ramsey’s late equaliser rescued the result at St James’ Park.
For Bournemouth, the Sky Sports report stressed that the Cherries have lost seven points from winning positions this season, the most of any Premier League side, as their win continues for a first victory under head coach Rose.
The Independent’s match recap echoed the same storyline of late concessions, saying the Premier League draw “throws up same issues” as Newcastle came from behind again.
Looking ahead, the Anecdotarios Deportivos report said Newcastle will visit Leeds United next, while Bournemouth will play at home against Brentford.
