"IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE TO SCORE A GOAL!"
The difference between wor home form and away form iz puzzlin' az we havvint won at SJP for 4 games, yet we have won 4 oot of 4 on wor away travels!?
Bournemoooth, just like Lutin in wor last home game fought tooth and nail for a victory, but both games ended in draws which produced 12 goals in total!
From the start wor visitors with 1,000 fans high up in the Leazes gods, went for it az they attacked The Gallowgate goal!
Dubravka pulled off 2 excellent saves to keep the score at nil-nil az we struggled withoot a main striker at the other end! (Wor midfield woz aalso in disaray!)
Half time came and then just 6 minutes into the 2nd half disaster struck az Dubravka slipped while tryin to control the baall, with Bournemooth's Solanke on hand to slot the baall into the empty net!
0-1 to stun the 52,000 plus crowd!
Lady luck woz on wor side just 7 mins later when Schar's shirt woz pulled in the box and a penalty woz awarded!---However! VAR got involved for a possible offside before the incident and after a 4 minute check with the ref gannin ower to the moniter the pen woz finally given!
Anthony Gordon took it and fired the baall into the right hand corner of the net to level things! (see video above)
Gordon then had a great chance to put us 2-1 up when he woz put through, but failed to round their keeper, who saved the baall!
We were punished for that miss just one minute later when Semenyo raced doon the wing and cut in to send a curlin shot into the top corner of the net with Dubravka unable to reach the baall!
1-2 to Bournemoooth!
And then super sub Matt Richie woz brought on in the 91st minute and within ONE MINUTE of comin' on he bundled the baall into the net with hiz forst touch, to once again level the scores at 2-2!
10 minutes of extra time were added, but we couldnt find the winner, with Bournemoooth tryin to dee the same!
Az Brian Clough used to say! "It only takes a second to score a goal!"-----(Or in this case a minute!) Good old Matt Richie who scored hiz forst goal for us in 4 years!
Injury depleted and withoot a proper striker iz costin us dear---especially at SJP!
Attendance: 52,224 (1,000 Cherrie Pickers)
