Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth: Two of Three Picks Missed

Newcastle Claw Back From Two Down

Bournemouth stunned Newcastle United with a fast start at St James’ Park, going 2-0 up inside 35 minutes through Marcus Tavernier (9′) and a Malick Thiaw own goal (35′). It was the kind of scoreline that would have completely voided our pre-match model, which had backed the hosts to win.

Newcastle responded before the break through Harvey Barnes (37′) to make it 2-1 at half-time, then needed until the 88th minute for Jacob Ramsey to snatch a dramatic equaliser and preserve their unbeaten start to the season. For Bournemouth, it was another case of a promising lead not seen out — after also leading late against Manchester City on the opening weekend before losing — extending a worrying pattern for Marco Rose’s side, who remain without a win this season.

Four goals across both halves made for an entertaining watch, and while our headline Newcastle-win pick didn’t come off, the goals kept flowing exactly as our Over 2.5 model expected — see the full breakdown below as part of our ongoing Premier League predictions track record.
