Matt Ritchie scored a dramatic late equaliser against his old club as Newcastle drew 2-2 with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday
Salomon Rondon gave the visitors the lead with a fine free-kick on the stroke of half-time (45+5) on a wet and windy afternoon
But Josh King looked to have completed a Bournemouth turnaround as he scored from the spot (48) before grabbing his second nine minutes from time
 However, Ritchie's stunning volley in injury-time snatched Newcastle an emphatic late point
The result means Bournemouth move above Everton into 11th
 Newcastle remain in 13th, but are seven points clear of the relegation zone
Both sides found the strong wind a problem in the early stages with neither able to get into a flowing rhythm
 But the first chance arrived in the 11th minute when Ryan Fraser's drilled strike beat Martin Dubravka and smashed off the post
With the blustery conditions resulting in ill-timed challenges, Jefferson Lerma picked up his 11th yellow of the season in the 18th minute - more than any other player in the Premier League - for a heavy sliding challenge on Ayoze Perez
Callum Wilson, who received an England call-up in midweek, had his first look on goal three minutes before half-time, but he fired his shot from a tricky angle wide of the post
 However, Rondon gave the visitors the lead in first-half injury-time with a curled free-kick into the top-left corner which Artur Boruc could not reach
Bournemouth won a penalty two minutes after the restart when Federico Fernandez was deemed to have pulled down Nathan Ake in the area
 King sent Dubravka the wrong way with his casual spot-kick
Moments later and Ritchie nearly got the final touch to turn in Rondon's deflected shot - 15 minutes before Paul Dummett acrobatically cleared Wilson's dinked header over the bar - but Bournemouth took the lead through King when he skilfully placed his shot into the bottom corner
With it looking like Bournemouth would secure all three points, Ritchie stole the show with a last-gasp equaliser as he volleyed home DeAndre Yedlin's floated ball to the back post to send the visiting fans home happy
"The penalty in the second half you put some things there that we have different opinions
 We have to analyse things carefully before we make decisions
Check the video
 I think we deserved a point because the way we were playing and working so we have to be happy at the end
: "We've still got more work to do
 We're still looking above us as well at the same time trying to catch the teams above us
"It's a good time for us, a two week break to get some bodies back
 We need that
 We've got some quality players that are not available at the moment and our squad will look a lot stronger when they return
"On a scrappy afternoon, King was still able to score two goals against a well-drilled Newcastle defence
The Norway international's spot-kick was a confident one, while his classy 81st-minute finish in the swirling wind will unfortunately be overshadowed by Ritchie's sensational equaliser
Bournemouth travel to Leicester for a 3pm kick-off in the Premier League on March 30
