Bournemouth have made Premier League history, but not the kind manager Marco Rose wanted. Their 2-2 draw at Newcastle on Saturday made them the first club to score first in each of their opening three matches of a season without winning any of them.
We were so good in the first half and could've scored a third goal. More or less, from nothing, we conceded.
The latest collapse came late. Bournemouth held a one-goal advantage until the 84th minute, only for Jacob Ramsey to equalize in the 88th. The result marked the third straight game in which Bournemouth dropped points from a winning position, surrendering seven points in total against Manchester City, Everton and Newcastle.
Rose said his team had played an excellent first half and could have scored a third goal, but conceded “more or less, from nothing.” He said the squad needed to address the negative aspects, improve and learn to close out matches.
We have to talk about the negatives, get better and try to finish the games.
Newcastle extended their unbeaten start under new manager Matthias Jaissle to one win and two draws. Ramsey said the team had been unlucky against Liverpool, produced a strong result against Tottenham and performed well against Bournemouth. Jaissle acknowledged that Newcastle could not match Bournemouth’s first-half intensity, but said he was proud of the team’s reaction.
Our first three games have been really good: unlucky not to win against Liverpool, a brilliant result against Spurs and a good performance today.
Bournemouth now face a demanding schedule that includes Tuesday’s League Cup match against Lincoln City and a Europa League campaign. Rose said the club must stay together, warning that the workload would become particularly difficult for a team not accustomed to competing in so many tournaments.
We couldn't match Bournemouth's intensity in the first half and conceded twice. That's something you could avoid. But I'm proud of the team to have shown the reaction.
