AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League updates

Eddie Howe will be delighted to enter the break with the scores level. Newcastle have been off the pace in the contest and were lacking a spark in the final third before Almiron’s leveller. The Magpies have a huge chance to open up a lead from Tottenham in fifth place with a victory today, which could be huge in the race for the Champions League.

It’s all square at the break between Bournemouth and Newcastle at the Vitality Stadium. The Cherries took the lead through Marcos Senesi as he scored at the back post from a corner. However, the Magpies responded just before the break when Miguel Almiron converted on the rebound after Sean Longstaff’s strike was saved. The contest remains in the balance at the interval.

HALF-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 1-1 NEWCASTLE

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! ALMIRON EQUALISES FOR NEWCASTLE!!!!! 1-1!!!!!! Almiron scores on the rebound to equalise before the interval. Saint-Maximin starts the move as he bursts in from the left flank and offloads to Longstaff on the charge. He shoots low and hard on his left foot, forcing Neto into a fine stop. Almiron is there to pounce on the rebound and places his effort away from the keeper into the bottom-left corner. A huge goal for the Magpies.

There will be two minutes of added time.
