Newcastle United drew 1-1 with AFC Bournemouth as Eddie Howe was roared off the field at the Vitality Stadium. Howe was understandably emotional after he'd made his way around the pitch following the clash with the Cherries. Howe spent more than two decades as a player and manager with the South Coast club.
After the game the Toon boss stated he still felt "emotional" but after he left the club in 2020 during the pandemic and amid a fan lockout he did not get his opportunity to say farewell.
He said: "I never got the chance to say goodbye to the fans. Even though there was an absence I never got to say it so it was nice to have that moment."
