Overview

• The match finished 0-0 at the Vitality Stadium, preserving Bournemouth’s bright start and extending Eddie Howe’s winless run against his former club.
• Howe made seven changes after the Barcelona defeat, with Malick Thiaw handed a full debut and Sven Botman and Lewis Hall among those brought in.
• Key moments included Nick Pope denying Tyler Adams, David Brooks having a finish ruled out for offside after a VAR check, and a late Justin Kluivert free-kick saved.
• Newcastle registered a fourth clean sheet in five league games but have scored only three times this season, with Dan Burn prominent at the back.
• Anthony Gordon served the final game of his suspension as Fabian Schär missed out with a head injury, while Bournemouth started Alex Jimenez for the first time and remained without Enes Ünal.
