Newcastle United were not at their best on the South Coast but showed their fighting qualities and a gritty determination that netted them a point as they stayed unbeaten.
They also surpassed a seven-game unscathed stretch on the road dating back to 2003/04 during the days of Sir Bobby Robson to set a new Premier League record. And it's 17 matches since they last tasted a defeat in the top-flight back in August.
For all the positives though Newcastle looked shaky at times and perhaps there were a few jangling nerves in play with the Carabao Cup final in sight. They also could have lost it late on had it not been for the class of Kieran Trippier to calmly clear it off the line as Dominic Solanke back-heeled an effort towards goal.
