The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Newcastle United extended their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a dramatic late comeback against Bournemouth at St James' Park. The visitors, who made the longest away trip in the division, took a two-goal lead before Newcastle struck twice, with Jacob Ramsey scoring the equaliser in the 87th minute.
Bournemouth's travelling fans had left home in the early hours to make the 300-mile journey north, and their dedication was rewarded when Marcus Tavernier opened the scoring. The goal, which came through a deflection, gave the Cherries an early boost. They then doubled their lead, leaving Newcastle with a mountain to climb.
Harvey Barnes pulled one back with a fine solo effort, giving the home side hope. Despite sustained pressure in the second half, Newcastle could not find a way through until Ramsey's late intervention. The result means Newcastle remain unbeaten after three games, while Bournemouth had to settle for a point after coming so close to a famous away win.
The draw was a fair reflection of a match that swung both ways, but it was the resilience of the home side that stood out. For Bournemouth, the long journey home was made slightly easier by a hard-earned point, though they will feel they let a lead slip.
