Bournemouth were controversially denied a late winner by VAR, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle at the Vitality Stadium.
Dango Outtara had looked to have given the Cherries a dramatic late winner as he headed home a corner in injury time, but the goal was ruled out as the VAR referee judged the ball went in off the forward’s arm.
Marcus Tavernier had put the home side ahead in the first half, tapping in from close range after superb work from Antoine Semenyo in the build-up.
Iraola’s side were unable to double their lead despite a number of chances, and 15 minutes from time they were punished when Anthony Gordon converted an inch perfect Harvey Barnes cross.
Then came the controversy just moments from the final whistle, Outtara’s disallowed goal was met with fury from Cherries fans inside the Vitality, along with manager Andoni Iraola who was yellow carded for his protests.
The result means Bournemouth are still searching for their first Premier League win this season, and they will hope to put that right when they travel to Everton next week.
Andoni Iraola made four changes from Bournemouth’s opening day draw at Nottingham Forest, Marcos Senesi, Ryan Christie, Justin Kluivert and new signing Evanilson coming into the side.
Lloyd Kelly was back at the Vitality Stadium for the first time since his summer departure, starting at left back for the Magpies.
Eddie Howe’s side started the strongest, finding a lot of joy in behind the Cherries backline, and the first chance of the afternoon fell to Alexander Isak who could only hit a weak shot into Neto's arms.
The game started to open up midway through the first half, evidenced by a frenetic sequence of play in which debutant Evanilson forced Nick Pope into a smart save, before Isak flashed the ball across the face of goal down the other end just seconds later.
The Cherries improved as the first half wore on, with Semenyo causing the Newcastle defence all sorts of problems, crashing a left-footed shot off the bar as Iraola’s side piled on the pressure.
It wasn’t long before the pressure told, Semenyo driving to the byline and fizzing a superb ball across the box, which Tavernier duly converted into the empty net.
Bournemouth continued to threaten after the interval, Semenyo looked certain to have doubled the Cherries lead but was thwarted by a last-ditch Dan Burn block, before Evanilson fired a shot straight at Pope.
The chances kept on coming for Iraola’s side, Semenyo yet again getting the better of Kelly, but Evanilson could only poke the winger's cross wide, with the goal gaping.
Despite their dominance Newcastle still maintained a threat on the break, Isak seeing his header cleared off the line by Senesi before seconds later Joelinton saw his headed effort saved incredibly by Neto.
Minutes later the away side had their equaliser, substitute Harvey Barnes whipping in a delightful ball from the left-hand side, and Anthony Gordon was on hand at the back post to tap home.
Despite being pegged back Bournemouth went straight back on the offensive, Semenyo and Scott both seeing shots flash just past the post, before Dan Burn saw his close-range header kept out by Neto down the other end.
Two minutes into additional time, Dango Outtara rose highest and looked to have given the Cherries all three points.
However, Tim Robinson, the VAR referee, judged that the ball had stuck Outtara on the arm and not the shoulder, and the celebrations were cut short.
