Salomon Rondon netted an impressive brace for Newcastle United as they claimed consecutive wins in the Premier League for the first time since April to move a point clear of the bottom three with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

Newcastle, full of confidence following their previous victory over Watford, got off to the perfect start when Rondon opened the scoring after just seven minutes following fine build-up work from DeAndre Yedlin.

Bournemouth's Adam Smith suffered what appeared a serious injury and play had to be suspended for eight minutes while he received treatment before being carried off with suspected knee ligament damage.

Rondon grabbed his second five minutes before the break when he met Kenedy's cross and directed a powerful header past Asmir Begovic.

Bournemouth refused to lie down and made the most of eight added minutes at the end of the first half when Jefferson Lerma headed home a cross from Ryan Fraser to net his first goal for the club.

Eddie Howe's side were unfortunate not to come away with a point in the second half as Jordan Ibe fired over when clean through on goal and Dan Gosling's 84th minute effort was ruled out for offside.

Full Time: Newcastle 2-1 Bournemouth

The only win of the 3pm games goes to Nerwcastle!

Salomon Rondon's double was the key to the win, and despite Jefferson Lerma's header in the sixth minute of added time at the end of the first half, they failed to really put any pressure on the hosts for an equaliser.

Eddie Howe will also be fretting over Adam Smith's injury, but it is Newcastle who record back-to-back home wins.

Thank you for joining us for the 3pm kick offs, which saw Newcastle as the big winners of the day after their 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

The spoils were shared in the other games, but Southampton and Huddersfield were both leading going into the final 15 minutes and will therefore be disappointed not to get three much-needed points on the board.

Leicester were also held by Burnley in what was an emotional affair at the King Power.

Join us in 25 minutes for the late kick-off of the day, which sees a London derby being played out as Crystal Palace and Tottenham lock horns.
