Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth: Alexander Isak fires confidently from the spot to equalise for Eddie Howe's side just five minutes after Philip Billing's opener at St James' Park

Draw specialists Newcastle shared the spoils for a fifth time in seven matches despite dominating against manager Eddie Howe's former club.

After Toon twice hit the woodwork, the visitor's launched a smash-and-grab raid to lead through Philip Billing.

But Newcastle quickly levelled from the spot from £60million striker Alexander Isak after a VAR call in their favour – the Swede grabbing the ball from Bruno Guimaraes to take.
