Newcastle United vs Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Alexander Isak penalty earns draw

Newcastle United were held 1-1 by Bournemouth in the Premier League to extend their run to six games without a victory.

Eddie Howe’s side fought back from a goal down after Philip Billing struck the opener with Alexander Isak striking the equaliser from the spot, following VAR’s intevention to penalise Jefferson Lerma for handling Kieran Trippier’s cross. Since a 9-0 humbling to Liverpool, the Cherries are unbeaten in three under caretaker boss Gary O’Neil. The Magpies could have taken the lead in the first half after Trippier and Joelinton both hit the woodwork, but Jordan Zemura’s cross saw Billing poke home the opener to silence St James’ Park. Eddie Howe is now under pressure, though his side did show character to battle back for a point, with a trip to Fulham awaiting them after the international break.

REPORT: Alexander Isak penalty rescues point but Newcastle frustrated again by Bournemouth

17:21 , Jack Rathborn

Alexander Isak’s second-half penalty salvaged a point for Newcastle United but Eddie Howe’s men are still searching for their first Premier League win since the opening day of the season after they were held by Bournemouth at St James’s Park.

Howe’s first game as manager against the club he coached from the depths of League Two to the top flight threatened to turn into one to forget when Philip Billing put the Cherries in front just beyond the hour mark.

But the Magpies were granted a lifeline three minutes later when a VAR check highlighted a handball in the box by Jefferson Lerma, enabling Isak to step up and sweep home his second goal of the season from the spot.

Nevertheless it proved another frustrating afternoon for the home side who, for all their early-season promise, can now boast a single win in seven and continue to struggle to turn their territorial possession into clear-cut chances.

It took 18 minutes for the lively Miguel Almiron to muster Newcastle’s first shot on target, whilst Bournemouth, largely pinned back in their own half, still managed to threaten through Ryan Christie and a Marcus Tavernier header that flashed just wide.

FT: Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth

17:05 , Jack Rathborn

The points are shared, Newcastle will be disappointed, while the Cherries will consider it a valuable point.

They are in 12th now and four points clear of the drop zone.

Newcastle are 10th and now six games in the league without a win.

77’ Penalty appeal! Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth

16:43 , Jack Rathborn

Newcastle want another penalty!

Murphy wants a penalty, Billing the possible guilty party but he had his hands behind his back.

68’ GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth (Isak (penalty))

16:33 , Jack Rathborn

With the help of VAR, Newcastle are level through a penalty converted by Isak.

VAR helped to award the spot kick after Kieran Trippier’s cross strikes Jefferson Lerma’s hand.

Craig Pawson had a look on the pitchside monitor and agreed it was a penalty, Isak then calmly sends Neto the wrong way.

62’ GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth (Billing)

16:32 , Jack Rathborn

The Cherries strike!

Bournemouth break the deadlock and it’s Jordan Zemura’s cross that meets the delicate touch of Philip Billing at the near post.

A huge goal and a big set-back for the Toon.

Despite dominating possession and striking the woodwork twice in the first half, Newcastle remain level with a resilient Bournemouth team at the break. The Magpies have been on the front foot for most of the match so far, and would have had a merited lead if either Trippier's free-kick or Joelinton's close-range shot had been just a little more accurate. Meanwhile, the visitors have posed an occasional threat on the counter, but their ambition has been fairly limited so far - will it be more of the same after the interval?

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe makes two changes to his most recent starting XI, as he faces his former club for the first time since leaving in 2020. Burn comes into the back four, while Bruno Guimaraes returns in midfield; Botman and Longstaff are relegated to the bench. The Magpies' most prominent absentees today are influential forwards Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson, both of whom have yet to recover from injury.

Newcastle have completed the signing of former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius on a short-term contact.

Karius, who has agreed a deal until January, will provide cover for Nick Pope after his understudy Karl Darlow was sidelined with an ankle injury.

The Magpies’ other keeper, Martin Dubravka, is unable to be recalled from his deadline-day loan to Manchester United due to the terms of his contract.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe admitted it will be a “special game” when the Magpies host his former club Bournemouth on Saturday.

Howe spent nearly eight years on the south coast, overseeing the Cherries’ promotion to the Premier League and he expressed his gratitude towards the club.

He said at his pre-match press conference: “I think certainly it’s not just about me, it’s the staff as well, we’ve got a lot of people who have got a lot of connections with the club.
