Lukas Hornicek: A little unfortunate for the second goal in particular after the ball came back off the upright and bounced off him. One or two moments of miscommunication at the back. 5
Amar Dedic: Made an impressive start to his Newcastle career, and carries a real threat going forward, but caught out defensively for both goals. Did swing in the ball for the equaliser, though. 4
Malick Thiaw: Stand-in captain in Dan Burn’s absence once again, but could only watch on as he put through the net after his block on Alex Scott’s cross looped into the bottom corner. 5
Sven Botman: A poor clearance before Marcus Tavernier’s opener but went on to make a couple of crucial interventions to deny Evanilson. 5
Lewis Hall: Substituted at half-time in the corresponding fixture back in April but coped better with Rayan this time. 6
Nico Gonzalez: Struggled to have the same effect as his impressive debut against Tottenham Hotspur. Missed a tackle on Tavernier before Bournemouth’s second goal and only partially blocked Scott’s effort in the build-up to the visitors’ first. 5
Lewis Miley: So much potential, and still so young at 20, but struggled to get a handle on Bournemouth’s midfield. Passing not to usual standard. 5
Anthony Elanga: Quickly frustrated with refereeing decisions going against him. Got little change from Adrien Truffert. 5
Joe Willock: Couldn’t fault his effort as he chased down Bournemouth players and attempted to make blocks. Came close to equalising with a header. 5
Harvey Barnes: Stepped up when Newcastle were on very shaky ground with a stunning goal from the hosts’ first shot on target. Often frustrated by failure, but always capable of a big moment. 7
Yoane Wissa: Looks better in the number 10 role in this system than up top. Repeatedly dropped deep to get involved. Showed determination to dig out a cross for a big Willock chance. 5
Subs:
Matias Fernandez-Pardo (on 63, Willock): Got a huge welcome on his debut. Quickly won a free-kick and worked hard to win the ball back. 6
Jacob Ramsey: Popped up with a precious equaliser to secure a point with a well-taken finish. 7
Jacob Murphy (on 77, Elanga): 6
Sean Steur (on 77, Gonzalez): 6
Livramento (on 90, Hall)
Subs not used: Nick Pope, Fabian Schar, Aladji Bamba, Bazoumana Toure
