Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Newcastle United against Bournemouth from the Premier League. A 3pm start in this one at St James' Park.

That's full time. A vital win for Bournemouth, who get their first away win in the league this season, and their second of the year. Benitez's Newcastle struggled without Merino, and ultimately conceded control in the second half.

GOAL! Newcastle United 0-1 Bournemouth. Cook scores - Cook outjumps Clark from a corner at the back post to force his header past Elliot, who is rooted to the spot. That shoud win it for Bournemouth.

There will be three minutes of added time.

Pugh cuts in onto his right foot, just yards from goal and drills a shot past the 'keeper and against the post. What a chance!

Defoe wins a corner on the right wing for Bournemouth, and they win another on the left

Arter sends an awful shot from distance well wide. Five minutes of normal time left.

Murphy replaces Atsu.

Atsu runs into space down the middle of the pitch, and slams a shot from distance that drifts wide of the top corner.

A poor header from Francis means that Steve Cook has to rush to be on hand to bail him out. The nerves must be setting in at Bournemouth now.

Defoe on for Ibe, and Smith on for Wilson.

Benitez believes that Daniels is deliberately wasting time by taking too many yards before throw-ins, knowing he will be sent back.

20 minutes left for someone to find a breakthrough.

Francis slides in on Atsu down the left to concede a corner. Surman clears it at the near post but they concede another soon after. Shelvey takes this one, from the right, and it's headed over by Clark. Newcastle add another sub to the mix now, as Perez replaces Joselu.

Wilson jogs towards the box from deep, and his heavy pass to his right is too much for Ibe as he chases.

Yedlin appeals as he thinks he has be fouled by Pugh in the box, but the ref has no interest. At the other end of the pitch Lejeune is booked for dissent after he thinks King tripped him before sending the ball out.

Shelvey wins a corner after a run down the left hand side of the box. He takes the corner, but it's low and terrible and runs away from danger.

Ritchie tries to lift a curling pass over the top of the defence, but it's cut out.

Lascelles has gone down for treatment, and a switch for Clark appears imminent. Yes, that's it for Lascelles.

Oh, my. Wison is released down the middle of the pitch by King. He lifts the ball over Elliot with his left foot, and it drifts a yard wide. What a miss.

Lascelles is limping in defence. Clark has been warming up for a minute, and looks likely to replace him soon. Ritchie has a cross headed behind for a corner, and Begovic tips over Joselu's header at the back post.
