Newcastle fought back from 2-0 down to earn a hard-fought Premier League point at home to Bournemouth thanks to Jacob Ramsey's late equaliser.

The Cherries had taken an early lead when Alex Scott's deflected shot looped into the box and Marcus Tavernier stole a couple of yards on Amar Dedic at the back post and poked the ball under Lukas Hornicek.

Newcastle fans booed the officials after the goal - aggrieved by what they thought was a foul in an earlier phase of play after some grappling between Adrien Truffert and Anthony Elanga.

Bournemouth added a second when Justin Kluivert's fizzing long-range effort hit the post, bounced off the back of Hornicek and dropped to Scott.

The former England Under-21 midfielder's effort from a tight angle spooned off Malick Thiaw beyond Hornicek and was chalked up as an own goal.

Newcastle pulled one back moments later when Harvey Barnes cut inside from the left and curled a stunning right-footed effort into the top corner.

A breathless and entertaining first half was followed by a second period which became more of an arm wrestle.

Newcastle gave a 63rd-minute debut to Belgium forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo, signed from Lille for £51m before the transfer window shut, in a bid to provide a bit more impetus.

Bournemouth looked to have showed the necessary grit to see out the remainder of the game only for Ramsey to strike with two minutes of normal time remaining.

A Newcastle attacking move culminated in Thiaw, with his back to goal, knocking the ball down in the box and Ramsey seizing on it to score with a low cushioned finish into the corner of the net.

This was the first meeting between the clubs since 1992 in which Eddie Howe has not been in either dugout - a total of 19 fixtures.

On that occasion 34 years ago, Ossie Ardiles was Magpies boss while Harry Redknapp was in charge of the Cherries.

The Geordie nation will have relished some of the attacking swagger shown by Newcastle's players so far under new boss Matthias Jaissle.

But aspects of their defensive play in this game, especially in the first half, were a tad reminiscent of the leaky Newcastle 'entertainers' team from the Nineties.

Bournemouth cut a rather disorganised home side apart with ease on occasions, with black-and-white striped shirts left chasing shadows as passes were threaded between the lines.

Newcastle were especially hesitant in possession at the back as Sven Botman carried the ball out of defence with the appearance of a man who had forgotten where he had parked his car.

Jaissle to his credit managed to get Newcastle a bit more organised after the break and they regained some control in midfield to stifle Bournemouth's creativity.

A bit more pragmatism allowed them to remain in the contest and provided the platform for Ramsey to equalise.

Jaissle looks like a man still finding his feet at St James' Park but a willingness to adapt when things are not going his way, and grind out results, should serve him well.

New Bournemouth boss Marco Rose had just finished giving high fives to his staff on the bench when Newcastle pulled a goal back - scoring 101 seconds after Thiaw's own goal.

He could not really be blamed for the gesture given the impressive performance he had coaxed out of his players in the first half.

Rose's side had outfoxed and outplayed Newcastle for the majority of the opening period with an intelligent display.

They managed a staggering 13 shots in the first half - five on target - and should really have been out of sight after a purple patch in which they created clear-cut opportunities.

Evanilson fired over from a good position after Botman gave the ball away, while a slick counterattack culminated in a tame finish by Tavernier.

The second-half slugfest curtailed the spectacle, and their intent, and up in the Gods where the away fans are housed at St James' Park there was doubtless a nagging feeling as the clock ticked into the final 10 minutes.

Having conceded three goals after the 84th minute in their opening two games it felt inevitable that an equaliser would come as Newcastle piled on the pressure and Ramsey duly delivered it.

Bournemouth have now lost seven points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other team.

Rose quickly needs to get to the bottom of why his side are letting them in so late.
