Bournemouth, England - In a thrilling Premier League match on Sunday, Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United scored an equaliser 14 minutes from time to secure a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. The goal came as a blow to Bournemouth as they were celebrating their 125th anniversary.

Marcus Tavernier put Bournemouth ahead in the first half but Gordon stole in at the back post to steer home a 76th-minute cross from substitute Harvey Barnes to ensure a deserved share of the spoils.

Newcastle advanced to four points from their opening two games of the season. Bournemouth drew their opener at Nottingham Forest.

Bournemouth, hoping for a win to mark their anniversary festivities, had the ball in the net in stoppage time for what looked initially to be a dramatic late winner but Dango Ouattara's effort was ruled out for handball after a VAR check.
