Bournemouth secured a vital 2-1 Premier League win away at Newcastle United on Saturday, bolstering their European qualification hopes while diminishing those of their hosts.
Adrien Truffert scored the late winner in the 85th minute, canceling out Marcus Tavernier's first-half goal. This victory propels Bournemouth to eighth in the table with 48 points, while Newcastle drops to 14th with 42 points.
"We're in great form, 13 unbeaten now - we've worked hard and earned it," said a delighted Tavernier. Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola, who is set to depart at season's end, praised his team's resilience. "At 1-1 the game changes but we showed composure," Iraola commented. Truffert's decisive goal originated from a cross that found striker Evanilson, who assisted the onrushing defender for a close-range finish. "We want to keep this unbeaten run going because the players have shown they will take no days off," Iraola added.
