Seventh in the Premier League, Newcastle had a great opportunity to climb to fifth place and come within a distance of Liverpool in the event of a victory. To do this, we had to win against the first relegated Bournemouth. The Cherries, who are having a complicated start to the season, remained in a correction against Manchester City (6-1). This time the scenario was very different. After 45 minutes, Eddie Howe saw his former team trap him.
