Bournemouth took the lead in the first half through Marcus Tavernier, whose well-placed shot gave the home team a 1-0 advantage. The goal invigorated the Bournemouth supporters, who were eager to see their team secure a victory in honor of their historic milestone. However, Newcastle United, determined to respond, maintained pressure throughout the match.

The turning point came in the 76th minute when Newcastle's Anthony Gordon equalized. Gordon capitalized on a precise cross from substitute Harvey Barnes, steering the ball into the net from the back post. This goal not only leveled the score but also ensured that Newcastle would leave with a point, bringing their tally to four from the opening two matches of the season.

As the match approached its conclusion, Bournemouth appeared to have snatched a dramatic late winner in stoppage time when Dango Ouattara found the net. However, the joy was short-lived as the goal was ruled out following a VAR check, which determined that Ouattara had handled the ball in the buildup.

With the draw, Bournemouth remains on one point after two matches, having previously drawn against Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Newcastle's performance reflects their growing momentum as they continue to seek a strong start to the season. The match not only highlighted the competitive nature of the Premier League but also served as a reminder of the fine margins that can dictate the outcome of a game.
