Gallery: Action from St James' Park

Written by Iain Pearce

We collect together images from the 90 minutes on Tyneside as the Cherries lose narrowly and suffer a worrying blow after Adam Smith appeared to suffer a serious knee injury.

A slow start from the visitors saw them slip behind inside ten minutes, Salomon Rondon netting his first Premier League goal for the Magpies, and after Smith worryingly left the field on a stretcher the Venezuelan struck again with a header.

Jefferson Lerma scored his first goal in English football with a looping header on the stroke of half time, but despite dominating possession Bournemouth were unable to find a leveller after the break.

Flick through our gallery of images above to get a flavour of the action in the north east.
