Eddie Howe retains his self-belief after Newcastle suffer another defeat

• Bournemouth score late winner for 2-1 victory

• ‘Recently we’ve become too easy to beat’

Eddie Howe insisted his self-belief remained intact and unshakeable after watching Newcastle sustain an eighth defeat in their last 11 Premier League matches.

“My belief in myself can’t waiver and it’s not,” said Newcastle’s manager after Bournemouth’s 2-1 win at St James Park. It was a fourth straight reverse in all competitions for Howe’s team and arrived after goals from Marcus Tavernier and Adrien Truffert extended the visitors’ unbeaten run to 13 league games.
