Gary O'Neil has admitted that Newcastle United did not give Bournemouth any 'real scary moments' after the Cherries interim boss prepared for an onslaught following Alexander Isak's equaliser.
The momentum was with Newcastle at St James' Park after Isak cancelled out Philip Billing's opener from the spot midway through the second half. However, Eddie Howe's side quickly ran out of ideas despite there being nearly half an hour, including injury time, left to play.
Newcastle may have hit the woodwork twice and had 20 shots, eight corners and 73% possession during the course of Saturday's 1-1 draw, but the Magpies did not look like grabbing a winner the longer the game went on. In fact, Newcastle got desperate late on, as Bournemouth dropped deeper and deeper, and the hosts took to shooting from distance.
