Bournemouth end Newcastle's 10-game unbeaten run

Newcastle 1-4 Bournemouth
by Roger Domeneghetti 
at St James' Park 

SOMETHING had to give. In the end, the team on a 10-game unbeaten run proved too much for a team on a nine-game winning streak.

Bournemouth executed the perfect plan, and it was simple. Despite limping into St James’ with only 11 fit senior players, they beat Newcastle at their own game.

They were fast, aggressive. Their work with and without the ball exemplary. Tyler Adams gave no quarter, bossing the midfield.
