Newcastle United executed the perfect smash and grab to beat Bournemouth 1-0.
Ayoze Perez scored for the away side in their only shot on target through the whole game. In total, they had 2 shots, while the Cherries mustered a massive 20.
Only Rob Elliot, standing in for the injured Tim Krul, stopped the home side from hitting the back of the net – and he was rightly rewarded with a Man of the Match accolade.
