Substitute Jacob Ramsey scored a late equaliser as Newcastle United came from behind to draw 2-2 against Bournemouth at St James' Park.

Here's how I rated the players and you can see how you scored them below.

Newcastle United

Lukas Hornicek: A little unfortunate for the second goal in particular after the ball came back off the upright and bounced off him. One or two moments of miscommunication at the back. 5

Amar Dedic: Made an impressive start to his Newcastle career, and carries a real threat going forward, but caught out defensively for both goals. Did swing in the ball for the equaliser, though. 4

Malick Thiaw: Stand-in captain in Dan Burn's absence once again, but could only watch on as he put through the net after his block on Alex Scott's cross looped into the bottom corner. 5

Sven Botman: A poor clearance before Marcus Tavernier's opener but went on to make a couple of crucial interventions to deny Evanilson. 5

Lewis Hall: Substituted at half-time in the corresponding fixture back in April but coped better with Rayan this time. 6

Nico Gonzalez: Struggled to have the same effect as his impressive debut against Tottenham Hotspur. Missed a tackle on Tavernier before Bournemouth's second goal and only partially blocked Scott's effort in the build-up to the visitors' first. 5

Lewis Miley: So much potential, and still so young at 20, but struggled to get a handle on Bournemouth's midfield. Passing not to usual standard. 5

Anthony Elanga: Quickly frustrated with refereeing decisions going against him. Got little change from Adrien Truffert. 5

Joe Willock: Couldn't fault his effort as he chased down Bournemouth players and attempted to make blocks. Came close to equalising with a header. 5

Harvey Barnes: Stepped up when Newcastle were on very shaky ground with a stunning goal from the hosts' first shot on target. Often frustrated by failure, but always capable of a big moment. 7

Yoane Wissa: Looks better in the number 10 role in this system than up top. Repeatedly dropped deep to get involved. Showed determination to dig out a cross for a big Willock chance. 5

Subs:

Matias Fernandez-Pardo (on 63, Willock): Got a huge welcome on his debut. Quickly won a free-kick and worked hard to win the ball back. 6

Jacob Ramsey: Popped up with a precious equaliser to secure a point with a well-taken finish. 7

Jacob Murphy (on 77, Elanga): 6

Sean Steur (on 77, Gonzalez): 6

Livramento (on 90, Hall)

Subs not used: Nick Pope, Fabian Schar, Aladji Bamba, Bazoumana Toure

Bournemouth

Djordje Petrovic: Little he could do for Barnes' goal, but otherwise a relatively comfortable afternoon. 6

Adam Smith: Played a role in Tavernier's opener by nudging the ball to Scott in the build-up. Tested on one or two moments defensively, but still showing his value at 35. 6

James Hill: Solid. Has already become a very important player for manager Marco Rose. 6

Antonio Silva: Took a nasty blow to the head from Elanga's shoulder, but the summer signing shook it off. 6

Adrien Truffert: Coped expertly with the in-form Elanga and caused Dedic real problems going the other way. 7

Tyler Adams: First competitive start under Rose. Could have got closer to Barnes for Newcastle's goal, but hard to see him coming out of the side after this display. 7

Alex Scott: So influential. Played a key role in both of his side's goals. Passing and vision stood out throughout. 8

Rayan: Not as effective as he was in the corresponding fixture last season. Rose was roaring at him at one stage. 5

Marcus Tavernier: Showed great anticipation to put the visitors in front. He's now scored in each of his past three trips to St James' Park. Could have netted a couple on this visit. 7

Justin Kluivert: Helped set up Bournemouth's crucial second goal after boldly letting fly from 35 yards out. Always a handful. 7

Evanilson: Had a real battle with Botman. Missed a couple of decent chances but worked hard throughout. 6

Subs:

Lewis Cook (on 74, Adams):6

David Brooks (on 74, Kluivert): 6

Daniel Jebbison (on 89, Tavernier)

Ben Gannon-Doak (on 89, Rayan)

Ryan Christie (on 96, Scott)

Subs not used: Michele Di Gregorio, Julio Soler, Bafode Diakite, Juanlu Sanchez
