Newcastle United lost 4-1 to Bournemouth at St James’ Park on Saturday - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe named an unchanged side from the 3-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James’ Park on Wednesday evening as he looked to claim a 10th successive win in all competitions.
But after just six minutes Bournemouth took the lead with Justin Kluivert finding the bottom right corner.
Bruno Guimaraes pulled Newcastle level with a header from Lewis Hall’s corner after 25 minutes.
But just before half-time, Bournemouth went back in front as Kluivert netted his second of the game.
Bournemouth thought they’d made it 3-1 around the hour mark but Dango Ouattara’s effort was ultimately disallowed for the ball going out of play.
The Cherries did make it 3-1 as Kluivert netted his hat-trick in style before Milos Kerkez made it 4-1 in the final moments.
Here are the player ratings from the match...
5. Lewis Hall - 4
Beaten early on by David Brooks before Sandro Tonali came to the rescue. Made a slow start and was beaten to the ball on a few occasions but made amends with his corner setting up Guimaraes to equalise. Recovered well at the end of the first half to stop Bournemouth making it 3-1. An off day by his standards. | AFP via Getty Images
6. Sandro Tonali - 5
Alert to cut out the danger early on and stop Brooks from getting a cross in. Had a couple of uncharacteristically clumsy moments in possession. Had a good chance saved at the end of the first half and improved in the second defensively. | Getty Images
7. Bruno Guimaraes - 5
Headed Newcastle level after 25 minutes. Pushed forward well and tried to make things happen for Newcastle in the attacking third. Conceded possession in a dangerous area for Bournemouth’s second and struggled afterwards. | Getty Images
8. Joelinton - 6
Showed some aggression in midfield to win the ball back and get the crowd in the game. Made some driving runs forward from midfield. Booked. | AFP via Getty Images
