AFC Bournemouth have two points while Newcastle United have four after two rounds of fixtures.

AFC Bournemouth's next Premier League games are against Everton (away) on 31 August, Brighton & Hove Albion (home) on 14 September, and Liverpool (away) on 21 September. Newcastle United play Tottenham Hotspur (home) on 1 September, Wolverhampton Wanderers (away) on 15 September, and Fulham (away) on 21 September.

At half-time during their Premier League home fixture against Newcastle United, AFC Bournemouth held a 1-0 lead courtesy of Marcus Tavernier's goal. However, Newcastle United staged a determined comeback in the second half, with Anthony Gordon equalizing. The match concluded with a 1-1 draw.

The game was scoreless until Marcus Tavernier found the net for AFC Bournemouth in the 37th minute, with an assist by Antoine Semenyo. Anthony Gordon equalized for Newcastle United with an assist by Harvey Barnes in the 76th minute.

'We have very short sleeves, and the ball never touches the skin of Dango. They send us the diagram (to show what constitutes handball) and now they take this decision,' said Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, who was furious after seeing Dango Ouattara controversially denied a stoppage-time winner by VAR. 'Considering the minute it was, it's obviously three points for us,' he added.
