The spoils were shared in Newcastle United's previous game, also at home. Visiting Crystal Palace (placed 15th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Newcastle's goalie Pope played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Crystal Palace with a stunning nine saves. Pope, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 9.13 out of 10 in that game. Pope topped it up with a clean sheet.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Liverpool (1-2).The Newcastle United fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches.
AFC Bournemouth form and stats
Things could have gone better for AFC Bournemouth in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for AFC Bournemouth, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Nottingham Forest (placed 19th) last time out. Those three points felt sweet as this team had gone four league matches without victory. What a finish in the last match, as Bournemouth came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Anthony's goal in the 87th minute. Anthony came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Nottingham Forest last time out, making the manager O'Neil feel like a tactical genius. The attacker Solanke got a match rating of 8.32 in that game. Solanke scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.
A draw for AFC Bournemouth before that, at their own venue hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers (0-0).There are big problems for the AFC Bournemouth defense as they have conceded 15 goals in 3 away games.
