Eddie Howe and Newcastle made Premier League history vs Bournemouth for all the wrong reasons

Newcastle United and Eddie Howe have drawn once again in the Premier League after the clash against Bournemouth.

It was a little bit of a snoozefest at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon, with the points shared after a score draw.

It was a game with very little to shout about, and apart from a late Nick Woltemade penalty shout, chances were very few and far between.

The lack of goals has been apparent all season, which has now cemented the Geordies in the Premier League history books.

According to Squawka, Newcastle are now the first team in Premier League history to draw each of their first three away games of a season 0-0.

The Tyneside club have drawn with Aston Villa, Leeds United and now Bournemouth.

In the Premier League this season, Newcastle have only scored three goals, with two coming in the Liverpool loss. So it’s a recurring problem for Eddie Howe that needs addressing.

Of course, losing a striker like Alexander Isak will have an effect, which the Newcastle manager knows all too well.

Newcastle missing Alexander Isak and Eddie Howe knows this

In his post-match interview, Howe spoke about the introduction of Nick Woltemade and the transitional phase the team is in.

Woltemade had a couple of glimpses of goal and should have had a penalty, but Howe said: “Naturally, we will be a different team without Alex, we will be attacking with a different emphasis.”

Anthony Elanga also needs time to settle and find his goalscoring boots, while the likes of Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy need to contribute more.

Howe needs to work out and rectify the goal department issue imminently – otherwise Newcastle’s unwanted record will likely continue.
