Tripper: Newcastle point from Bournemouth could be massive

Newcastle United fullback Kieran Trippier says they can be happy with their 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.

It was Bournemouth who went in front after half an hour when Dango Ouattara flicked on a corner and Marcos Senesi was left unmarked at the far post to stab home.

Trippier said, "I think we did well. In certain moments, Bournemouth are good on the transition. They defend well and break forward and we have to be aware of that. This is a tough place to come and the most important thing is that we don't get beat and it is another point that could be massive come the end.

"We didn't start strong. We knew Bournemouth would come out of the traps quick. They are at home. Overall we are happy but we have so much to work on.

"I lost my man. It is not like us but it is sloppy, myself included. We have to go again. We get ready for another game next week.
