Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon salvaged a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday, dampening the hosts' 125th-anniversary celebrations. Marcus Tavernier gave Bournemouth the lead in the first half, but Gordon's well-timed finish at the back post from Harvey Barnes' cross in the 76th minute ensured Newcastle earned a point.
This result leaves Newcastle with four points from their first two games of the season, while Bournemouth also settled for a draw in their opener against Nottingham Forest. The Cherries came close to a dramatic late victory when Dango Ouattara found the net in stoppage time, but his goal was disallowed for handball after a VAR review.
Bournemouth's hopes of marking their anniversary with a win were dashed as Newcastle held firm, maintaining their unbeaten start to the season. The match ended in a stalemate, reflecting the closely fought nature of the contest.
