A fine stop by Heurelho Gomes on the former Crystal Palace striker ensured both teams earned a point each at Vitality Stadium.
A dreadful error from Artur Boruc and a missed penalty from Glenn Murray cost Bournemouth as it was held to a 1-1 draw by fellow Premier League new boys Watford on Saturday.
Murray's first-half header on his full debut had the host set to go into the break in front after having the better of the first 45 minutes. Boruc, though, gifted an equalizer to Odion Ighalo with a poor pass just before halftime.
