Bournemouth handed Newcastle a disappointing defeat, halting their impressive nine-match winning streak. The visitors were dominant throughout, with Kluivert scoring a hat-trick and Ouattara also finding the net. Despite Newcastle's efforts, they were unable to match Bournemouth's intensity and tactical nous.
While this failure to secure a club record breaking 10th successive victory confirmed Howe’s assertion that the internal problems that derailed the early part of Newcastle ’s season are not fully mended, Iraola’s defence thoroughly subdued Alexander Isak , extinguishing the Sweden striker’s hopes of scoring for a ninth Bournemouth were far too strong and speedy for their hosts.
Even before Kluivert scored, David Brooks’s left-footed right wing cross had caused consternation in the home defence, prefacing Martin Dubravka doing well to deny Dango Ouattara before Antoine Semenyo pounced on the rebound and missed a very decent chance. Undeterred, Bournemouth remained the superior team, deservedly regaining their lead shortly before half-time. Once again Kluivert was the scorer. His ninth league goal of the season arrived when Ryan Christie’s dispossession of Guimarães permitted Ouattara to advance at speed before slipping a pass for Kluivert to stroke, expertly, into the bottom corner of the net before either the backpedaling Hall or Burn could intercept.
