Newcastle's European qualification hopes suffered another blow with a late 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth at St James' Park. The Magpies, who had lost their previous two matches to Sunderland and Crystal Palace, failed to capitalize on what was seen as a must-win fixture, slipping further from the European picture.

The match saw Bournemouth extend their unbeaten run to 13 games despite head coach Andoni Iraola's announcement that he would leave at season's end. Marcus Tavernier's goal just after the half-hour put the Cherries ahead, though Newcastle managed to equalize through Will Osula after VAR intervention.

However, Bournemouth's Jeremy Truffert scored the winner in the 85th minute, marking Newcastle's third consecutive Premier League match conceding match-losing goals after the 80th minute. The defeat leaves Newcastle in 14th place on 42 points, six points adrift of Bournemouth in eighth, while the Cherries' European ambitions receive another boost as they remain level with Brentford and Chelsea on 48 points.
