Cook snatches win to end Newcastle's home run
Bournemouth leapt out of the Premier League bottom three thanks to Steve Cook's last-gasp header against Newcastle United at St James' Park.
Steve Cook's last-gasp header helped Bournemouth move out of the Premier League's bottom three thanks to a 1-0 win over Newcastle United.
The Cherries had earlier hit the post through Marc Pugh, but the visiting fans were celebrating deep into stoppage-time when Cook rose highest to nod in Andrew Surman's corner.
It compounded a frustrating afternoon for Newcastle, who had seen Dwight Gayle have a goal debatably ruled out for offside when following in a shot from Matt Ritchie that hit the post.
But Rafael Benitez's men failed to build on a strong opening half an hour and, in the end, Bournemouth could have won more comfortably had Callum Wilson not wasted a great chance and Pugh not been denied by the woodwork.
Three points for Eddie Howe's men sees Bournemouth climb up to 16th and means it has won back-to-back away Premier League games for just the second time.
Newcastle, meanwhile, has lost consecutive matches and the end of a four-match unbeaten home run sees it drop into the bottom half.
