Thiaw's own goal doubles Bournemouth's lead
It's an unfortunate moment for the Newcastle defender as the ball into the box takes a wicked deflection off Malick Thiaw and sails into the back of the net to give the Cherries a 2-0 lead at St. James' Park.

Dedi, heavy touch, and he's been able to be picked off by Scott.
And now out of position is the Bosnian.
And here comes Tavernier, skips past one challenge, feeds Kluivert with the effort, and it's off the post.
Scott with the rebound, it's deflected.
Is it gonna go in?
No.
Yes, it is.
And it's 2-0.
Alex Scott will claim it, but it was a mess as far as Newcastle United were concerned.
But deservedly, the Cherries double their lead.
I've gotta say, it's been well deserved because the way the Cherries, like I said, winning the second balls, the way they have counter-attacked, got numbers forward, you're gonna see it all unfold in this moment here.
The man that scored it, Scott, he started it.
Dedi there, he makes the challenge, and then there's no other thought process.
Nico Gonzalez dives in.
Once he's committed, you've got the numerical advantage.
I mean, it's an incredible strike from Kluivert off the post, but the way that the ball ends up in the back of the net, Malak Chow and Hornek can do nothing about that.
It's an error, but it's the way that Bournemouth, they won the ball, they had the intent to go forward, and they've been asking all the questions of Newcastle defensively.
And that's a big moment.
2-0 up at St. James' Park.
The manager on the sideline just touching and pointing at his head to make sure his players are staying switched on here.
And there you can see that's what it means to him.
And Alex Scott has had a big hand in both the goals
