Lukas Hornicek: Lukas Hornicek endured a tough moment, especially when the rebound from the post struck him for the second goal, and he showed occasional lapses in defensive communication. 5
Amar Dedic: Amar Dedic announced his Newcastle debut with promising attacking intent, yet he was exposed defensively on both conceded goals, although his cross led to the equaliser. 4
Malick Thiaw: Malick Thiaw, filling in as captain for the absent Dan Burn, could do little to prevent the goal that resulted when his attempted block on Alex Scott’s cross deflected into the net. 5
Sven Botman: Sven Botman’s errant clearance gifted Marcus Tavernier the opening goal, but he recovered with several key blocks that kept Evanilson at bay. 5
Lewis Hall: Lewis Hall, who was taken off at halftime in the previous encounter back in April, handled Rayan more effectively this time around. 6
Nico Gonzalez: Nico Gonzalez failed to replicate the impact of his standout debut versus Tottenham, missing a challenge on Tavernier that preceded Bournemouth’s second goal and only partially getting in the way of Scott’s shot leading to the visitors’ opener. 5
Lewis Miley: Lewis Miley, still only twenty and brimming with promise, found it difficult to impose himself on Bournemouth’s midfield, with his passing below his usual level. 5
Anthony Elanga: Anthony Elanga grew increasingly irritated by unfavorable refereeing calls and struggled to make an impact against Adrien Truffert. 5
Joe Willock: Joe Willock left nothing to be desired in terms of effort, pressing Bournemouth’s players and seeking blocks, and he came close to leveling the score with a header. 5
Harvey Barnes: Harvey Barnes rose to the occasion when Newcastle looked vulnerable, scoring a stunning goal from the side’s first shot on target; though he can be frustrated by missed chances, he remains capable of producing match‑changing moments. 7
Yoane Wissa: Yoane Wissa appeared more effective operating from the number‑10 position rather than as a striker, frequently dropping deep to link play and working hard to produce a cross that set up a promising chance for Joe Willock. 5
Subs:
Matias Fernandez-Pardo (on 63, Willock): Matias Fernandez‑Pardo, introduced for Willock in the 63rd minute, received a warm reception on his Newcastle debut, swiftly earning a free‑kick and battling hard to regain possession. 6
Jacob Ramsey: Jacob Ramsey arrived late to net a vital equaliser, securing the point with a composed finish. 7
Jacob Murphy (on 77, Elanga): Jacob Murphy, who replaced Elanga in the 77th minute, contributed solidly. 6
Sean Steur (on 77, Gonzalez); Sean Steur, coming on for Gonzalez at the 77‑minute mark, put in a decent shift. 6
