Alexander Isak waved his arms up and down to whip up the crowd further yet Newcastle United's record signing need not have worried. St James' Park was at its deafening best once more after the Sweden international confidently dispatched a penalty to draw Newcastle level against Bournemouth in the 67th minute.
It was Isak's first goal at this iconic stadium, but the record signing did not want to waste too many precious seconds celebrating as he followed his team-mates back to their own half so that the game could get back under way as quickly as possible. The message was clear: Newcastle were going to go all-out for a winner.
Having shown real character to respond to Philip Billing's opener just a few minutes earlier, and make it 1-1, the momentum was now with the hosts as they went in search of their first league win since the opening day. However, that second goal never came on Saturday. There was to be no grandstand finish.
