Lukas Hornicek: <\/b>A little unfortunate for the second goal in particular after the ball came back off the upright and bounced off him. One or two moments of miscommunication at the back. 5<\/b><\/p>\n
Amar Dedic: <\/b>Made an impressive start to his Newcastle<\/a> career, and carries a real threat going forward, but caught out defensively for both goals. Did swing in the ball for the equaliser, though. 4<\/b><\/p>\n Malick Thiaw: <\/b>Stand-in captain in Dan Burn’s absence once again, but could only watch on as he put through the net after his block on Alex Scott’s cross looped into the bottom corner. 5<\/b><\/p>\n Sven Botman: <\/b>A poor clearance before Marcus Tavernier’s opener but went on to make a couple of crucial interventions to deny Evanilson. 5<\/b><\/p>\n Lewis Hall: <\/b>Substituted at half-time in the corresponding fixture back in April but coped better with Rayan this time. 6<\/b><\/p>\n Nico Gonzalez: <\/b>Struggled to have the same effect as his impressive debut against Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>. Missed a tackle on Tavernier before Bournemouth<\/a>‘s second goal and only partially blocked Scott’s effort in the build-up to the visitors’ first. 5<\/b><\/p>\n Lewis Miley:<\/b> So much potential, and still so young at 20, but struggled to get a handle on Bournemouth<\/a>‘s midfield. Passing not to usual standard. 5<\/b><\/p>\n Anthony Elanga: <\/b>Quickly frustrated with refereeing decisions going against him. Got little change from Adrien Truffert. 5<\/b><\/p>\n Joe Willock: <\/b>Couldn’t fault his effort as he chased down Bournemouth<\/a> players and attempted to make blocks. Came close to equalising with a header. 5<\/b><\/p>\n
