Alex Scott’s deflected effort fell kindly for Marcus Tavernier in the ninth minute, and the midfielder reacted quickly to finish beyond Lukas Hornicek. Newcastle appealed for a foul on Anthony Elanga earlier in the move, but VAR found nothing to reverse the decision and the goal stood.The visitors continued to overwhelm Newcastle’s midfield and should have extended their advantage before eventually doing so in the 35th minute. Bend it like Barnes. 💫 pic.twitter.com/AWEHv2qARy— Newcastle United (@NUFC) September 5, 2026Justin Kluivert’s long-range strike rebounded off the post and Hornicek before Scott recovered possession, with his attempted ball across goal deflecting off Malick Thiaw and looping into the net for an own goal. At that point, it surely looked like the Magpies could very well lose by three or four goals, but… There’s always a but.Newcastle responded just 27 seconds after the restart. Barnes collected possession on the left, cut inside onto his right foot and curled a ridiculous, HB-trademarked finish beyond Djordje Petrovic. It was Newcastle’s first shot on target and provided an unlikely route back into a game Bournemouth had largely controlled, with a mad crowd finally making itself present inside SJP.A fine finish from Jacob Ramsey to earn us a point 🎯 pic.twitter.com/QtRocAtnkw— Newcastle United (@NUFC) September 5, 2026Jaissle’s team tightened defensively after halftime without doing that much in attack. Joe Willock, however, glanced a header narrowly wide following good work from Yoane Wissa and Elanga, before deadline-day signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo entered in the 63rd minute for his Newcastle debut and boosted the Magpies’ offense down the left side.The pressure finally paid off in the 88th minute. Bournemouth failed to clear Jacob Murphy’s delivery, and the loose ball eventually reached Ramsey inside the area. The substitute struck a low finish into the bottom corner for Newcastle’s second and nearly helped inspire a winner, with Wissa narrowly failing to reach Sean Steur’s late through-ball.”We adjusted, we improved. We stepped up.” 🗣️Matthias on today’s game at St. James’ Park pic.twitter.com/rRn4uCX5M4— Newcastle Uni
