Bournemouth 1-1 Newcastle: VAR controversy mars Dango Ouattara

Bournemouth were left frustrated as VAR ruled out a stoppage-time winner, forcing them to settle for a 1-1 draw against Newcastle.

Dango Ouattara rose to head in Lewis Cook's corner from the right but, following a VAR review, he was adjudged to have used his left arm to help the ball over the line and so the goal was chalked out, much to the fury of Cherries boss Andoni Iraola.

Led by Alexander Isak, who was eager to get off the mark for the season, Newcastle made a promising start - until their momentum just dropped away and Bournemouth's press began to cause problems.

With 37 minutes gone, the hosts - who had hit the bar through Antoine Semenyo not long before - established a deserved lead over their passive visitors. Joelinton cheaply turned over the ball to Semenyo, who drove on and crossed for Marcus Tavernier to roll in.

The impressive Semenyo came close with another two openings himself, before putting the ball on a plate for Evanilson just after the hour. The Brazilian stretched to meet it at the far post, but somehow failed to convert a chance with an xG value of 0.63.

That afforded a Newcastle side growing in confidence the opportunity to level, which they did 13 minutes from time. Harvey Barnes' delicious cross flew over everyone in the box and dropped perfectly for Anthony Gordon, whose first-time connection beat Neto.

ollowing two big saves from Neto, Bournemouth thought they had won it in the 93rd minute. Ouattara, under pressure from Dan Burn, jumped and bowed his head to meet Cook's delivery.

The goal was given on the pitch, but on the recommendation of VAR Simon Hooper, Coote ruled the goal out, which quickly turned the atmosphere inside the Vitality hostile, as the sides shared the points.

Newcastle climb to fifth in the embryonic Premier League table as a result, with Bournemouth down in 14th after a second straight draw.

Redknapp: Ouattara disallowed goal not conclusive

Jamie Redknapp on Premier League:

"I don't think it does [hit Ouattara's arm]... I don't think it's conclusive enough. I can feel the manager's pain. It looks more like shoulder to me.

"There isn't anything that's conclusive. There's still a grey area between the arm and the shoulder. They say it's about where the shirt sleeve ends. It looks more like shoulder to me.

" of the Newcastle players complained and I just don't think it warranted that intervention. It hits him high up on the shoulder. It's a really disappointing one for them. It feels more shoulder than arm."
