Newcastle United was held to a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday in a dull game of few chances, as the visitor remains winless on the road.
Although Newcastle kept a third straight clean sheet on the road, it was also a third consecutive goalless draw that left Eddie Howe’s side 13th in the standings with six points while Bournemouth moved provisionally up to third on 10.
Howe made several changes to his lineup in search of his first league win against his former side, but despite a lively start from both teams, the first half lost momentum with injury stoppages and ended with few clear chances.

Newcastle had a penalty appeal waved away when Nick Woltemade had his shirt tugged, and Justin Kluivert nearly won it for Bournemouth with a free kick in added time, only for Nick Pope to make a fine save.
Villa, Sunderland share points
Aston Villa ended its goal drought in the Premier League but still couldn’t beat 10-man Sunderland in a 1-1 draw on Sunday, while Newcastle was held 0-0 at Bournemouth.
Matty Cash blasted a swerving shot from 25 meters that Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs could only parry into his own net in the 67th, giving Villa its first goal after five games in the league.
However, Sunderland — playing with 10 men from the 33rd minute after Reinildo’s red card for kicking out at Cash — equalised in the 75th through Wilson Isidor to leave Villa without a victory and in third-to-last place.
