Bournemouth's VAR Controversy Overshadows Newcastle Draw

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola expressed his frustration after a VAR decision disallowed Dango Ouattara's stoppage-time goal, which would have secured a 2-1 win against Newcastle. The Premier League ruled the goal out for a 'factual handball', claiming the ball struck Ouattara's arm, despite Iraola and his players arguing it hit his shoulder. Referee David Coote was not allowed to review the footage himself, leading to further dissatisfaction among the Bournemouth squad. Newcastle equalized through Anthony Gordon in the 77th minute, and manager Eddie Howe acknowledged the contentious nature of the VAR decision. Boise's performance marked another draw, leaving them still seeking their first win of the season. Both teams continue to contend for points early in the Premier League campaign.
