“Trips to St James’ Park have been difficult in recent seasons for Spurs, but what lessons can be learnt from April’s 4-0 defeat – and how did Bournemouth cause the Magpies problems last weekend?“
At the Vitality Stadium, Newcastle conceded notable first half chances as Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth pressed aggressively.
Tino Livramento, near his own penalty area, was dispossessed for an early Evanilson chance, saved by Nick Pope.
On 36 minutes, Joelinton was ponderous and robbed by Antoine Semenyo, who charged into the penalty area before supplying Marcus Tavernier for the game’s opening goal.
