Newcastle United 2, Bournemouth 1
St. James Park, Newcastle
Three matches without knowing the meaning of defeat is the toll these Magpies delivered with back-to-back wins and a draw netting seven valuable points on their quest of salvations and salvaging this campaign from disaster.
With nine points and in fourteen place and moving on up for manager Rafael Benitez aware of the challenges and work ahead to perform with his Geordies, the aim is to move into the top ten posts but with a price.
Still for the Spaniard is business as usual and seeing how his side finally getting that lost confidence now the goal is to perform and net important results and finish in a decent positon in the end of the first half of winter.
So far, with wins over notable clubs that are showing some grit in this campaign like Watford and today over Bournemouth, the Toon Boys are now aiming to add another threesome to their favor with a match next week against Burnley at Turf Moor.
Now that the performance and consistency is getting ahold of all of the Newcastle crew and positive results are coming, now is the time to start making a move to the top spots of the table, not that these can net a European spot.
Do not count this group out; this is off course if manager Benitez persuades the likes of his Mike Ashley tight ways to bring some needed talent to the Toon, looking forward to a campaign that will highlight this club all around fight in the end.
To beat the likes of these hardened Cherries playing an amazing football in the campaign and seeing how these as visitors had a total dominance of the match with a 60.8% over a feeble 39.2% of the local Magpies but these netting the win.
In spite of the AFC side, taking control of the match, the tactical and strategies put in Benitez and company were the one that stood up in tis match as the locals really took advantage of the opportunities with results speaking for themselves.
Ask that to an inspired Solomon Rondon that had a double of an afternoon to send the whole of Saint James Park into frenzy, when a beautiful play started by Ki Seung- Yeung cross to Kenedy and sending to the Venezuelan.
As Rondon sent, his shoot and seeing it blocked by Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in the rebound the South American his second shoot hit the back of the visitors net to open up the score in the 7’ minute.
Soon the Magpies first score the Geordies defense steep up their game and put a hold of the visitor’s offensive drive for the course of the game until the fatidic 40’ minute when Newcastle Kenedy pass to a wide-open Solomon Rondon.
The man from Venezuela putting on one of his acrobatic moves, his second goal of the match came in the 40’’ minute; with his score in the end, it became the game winning goal, after other opportunities missed by the locals.
In the end of the first half Bournemouth made it a contest with a Jefferson Lerma goal via an assist from Ryan Fraser pass in the 45+6 before halftime to make it 2-1 and the pressure put in by the visitors the Magpies persevere for the win.
