Match Report: Newcastle United vs. Bournemouth
Bournemouth defeated Newcastle United 4-1 at St. James’ Park, ending the Magpies’ nine-match winning streak in all competitions. Justin Kluivert scored a hat-trick for the Cherries, with his third goal being a stunning strike in stoppage time. Milos Kerkez added a fourth goal for Bournemouth, capping off a swift counter-attack.
Newcastle had leveled the score in the 25th minute through Lewis Hall’s corner, which was headed home by Bruno Guimaraes. However, Bournemouth regained the lead just before halftime when Kluivert slotted home after being fed by Dango Ouattara.
The Cherries thought they had increased their advantage in the 61st minute, but Ouattara’s volley was ruled out by the referee following a VAR review. Nevertheless, Kluivert’s third goal and Kerkez’s fourth sealed the win for Bournemouth.
