Newcastle United player ratings: Who shone and who struggled in 2-0 AFC Bournemouth defeat.

Newcastle United were beaten 2-0 at AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday evening - here are the player ratings from the match.

Eddie Howe made three changes to the side that lost 2-0 at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night with Miguel Almiron, Anthony Gordon and Lewis Miley coming into the side for Tino Livramento, Callum Wilson and Bruno Guimaraes.

Joe Willock and Lewis Hall were handed their first Premier League starts of the season while Miley made his full league debut for The Magpies at just 17 years old.

Bournemouth saw a couple of early chances saved by Nick Pope before Newcastle's first shot of the game resulted in Sean Longstaff's strike from distance being tipped over by Neto.

Newcastle were dealt yet another blow in the first half with Almiron being forced off after the half-hour mark.

The sides went in at 0-0 though Bournemouth went ahead on the hour mark as Dominic Solanke blasted the ball past Pope from close range.

Solanke then made it 2-0 shortly afterwards as Newcastle's seven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end.
