• This was Eddie Howe’s way of paying his respects to to Her Majesty Elizabeth II before returning to his trademark track suits

Eddie Howe briefly ditched his signature track suits on Saturday, September 17 as he wore a suit to pay respects to the Queen.

The tactician looked quite sharp in a suit as players and fans observed a minute’s silence and the National anthem in tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

At Saint James’ Park, Howe was clad in a black tie with a black suit as players from both the Newcastle and Bournemouth camp wore black armbands for the match.

After the tribute, Howe returned to his usual Newcastle tracksuit, a style fans know him for.

How the game went

As far as the game was concerned, Newcastle remain without a win since the opening day of the season as the game against the Cherries ended in a 1-1 draw.

Howe fell behind against his former side, who struck through Philip Billing in the 62nd minute.

But five minutes later, the Magpies were back level and their equalizer came from £60m summer signing from Real Sociedad Alexander Isak

Newcastle were dominant for long periods as they enjoyed 72% possession and 20 attempts at goal, but the one thing that was lacking was the clinical edge in front of goal.

For Bournemouth, it was a point that interim boss Gary O'Neil will gladly take away from home as the Cherries stay 12th on the log with eight points.
