Adrien Truffert fired home a late winner to extend Bournemouth's impressive unbeaten run on another damaging afternoon for Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe.

The visitors, who are now undefeated in the Premier League in a club record 13 games, looked determined to give manager Andoni Iraola a fitting send-off by finishing the campaign strongly after the Spaniard announced this week he would be leaving at the end of the season.

Although Newcastle forward William Osula cancelled out Marcus Tavernier's opener midway through the second half, there was still time for another twist at St James' Park.

Tavernier turned provider as he sent in a cross and Evanilson headed it down for the unmarked Truffert to fire into the roof of the net to send Iraola darting down the touchline as his side moved up to eighth place.

It was a familiar story for Howe against his former club after Newcastle threw away another result late on.

Howe said his fire was burning "very strongly" on the eve of this game, as his future comes under increased scrutiny, but it was Bournemouth who seized the initiative.

The visitors opened the scoring when Rayan skipped away from Lewis Hall down the right and cut the ball back across to Tavernier, who bundled home from close range.

There were a smattering of boos at half-time from the home support, but Newcastle responded in the second half.

Evanilson inadvertently played Osula in after hooking the ball forward while attempting to win it from substitute Bruno Guimaraes in the middle of the park.

Osula raced through, sorted out his feet under pressure from Marcos Senesi and slotted the ball past Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

Although the goal was initially disallowed for offside by referee Tom Bramall, the decision was reversed to loud cheers from the home support following a check by the video assistant referee.

But there was still time for Truffert to score a dramatic winner to leave Newcastle in 14th place.

Howe came out swinging on the eve of this game as he vowed to "fight until the end".

By full-time, however, he looked suitably dejected after suffering an eighth defeat in 11 league games.

This was an afternoon when there were chants of "Eddie Howe's black and white army" from the home support at various points.

But there were also boos at half-time and full-time on what felt like Groundhog Day for these supporters.

No other side has conceded more late goals (19) than Newcastle in the Premier League this season.

This flaky team are too easy to play against and, when momentum should have swung their way, after equalising, Howe's men conspired to throw it all away again.

By full-time, one or two of these players looked like they wanted this bruising season to finally end.

Iraola and his staff joked with Truffert that his first goal was coming after some impressive finishes in training on the eve of this game.

So it proved.

Judging by Truffert's wild celebrations, it was worth the wait as Bournemouth showed their mettle once more.

Some teams have folded after conceding an equaliser against Newcastle at St James' Park, but this Bournemouth side are resilient.

They were fresh from winning at Arsenal last week and this was another impressive victory.

Rather than retreating at 1-1, Bournemouth still sensed Newcastle had vulnerabilities and pushed for a winner.

Such a response was all the more impressive only days after Iraola confirmed he would be leaving at the end of his contract.

But his commitment and his players' commitment were never in doubt as they look to mount a late push for a European spot.

No wonder Iraola was serenaded by those Bournemouth supporters up in the gods at full-time.

This was worth the long trip.

Newcastle travel to the Emirates to face leaders Arsenal on 25 April.

Bournemouth host Leeds United at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday.
