Dango Ouattara had a stoppage-time goal controversially ruled out in a dramatic finale as Bournemouth had to settle for a draw against Newcastle.

The substitute thought he had secured the points with a 93rd-minute winner but it was disallowed for handball - with the ball deemed to have come off his upper arm, rather than his shoulder, before going in.

Marcus Tavernier had given Bournemouth a deserved first-half lead when he turned in Antoine Semenyo's cross.

Bournemouth's club record signing Evanilson, who was making his debut, should have made the points safe in the second half but failed to get a touch to Semenyo's dangerous cross.

Newcastle had been flat for large periods of the match but they improved in the closing stages and, after Neto kept out Joelinton's header, Gordon got the equaliser when he prodded in Harvey Barnes' cross at the far post.

It set up a tense finish as both sides chased a winner, Semenyo going closest with a deflected strike before Dan Burn's header was superbly pushed away by Neto.

With seconds left, it was Bournemouth fans who were celebrating but they were soon cut short when Ouattara's effort was ruled out, leaving the Cherries looking for their first win of the season.
