Newcastle United 2 Bournemouth 1: Rondon double earns second straight win

Newcastle United made it two straight Premier League wins for the first time since April, beating Bournemouth thanks to Salomon Rondon.

Salomon Rondon scored his first Premier League goals for Newcastle United to seal an impressive 2-1 home victory over Bournemouth.

The Newcastle striker followed up an early strike with a thumping header and, although Jefferson Lerma netted his maiden Bournemouth goal in first-half stoppage time, the visitors could not recover.

After failing to win their first 10 games, Newcastle have now won back-to-back matches to kickstart their campaign, while sixth-placed Bournemouth have lost two in a row, Manchester United having defeated them in heart-breaking fashion last time out.
