Match Report
Bournemouth came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory at Newcastle on Saturday, with Adrien Truffert's late strike proving the decisive blow in an absorbing Premier League contest at St. James' Park.
Marcus Tavernier broke the deadlock on 32 minutes to send the Cherries into the break ahead. Newcastle pushed back after the interval and William Osula levelled matters on 68 minutes, giving the hosts real belief. But Truffert had other ideas, restoring Bournemouth's lead on 85 minutes. Despite eight minutes of added time and a late effort from Guimarães, the Magpies couldn't find a way back.
The defeat leaves Newcastle in 14th place, now six points adrift of the European qualification spots. Bournemouth, meanwhile, climb to 11th on 45 points and keep their continental ambitions firmly alive.
