Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admits it was difficult facing former club Bournemouth on Saturday.
The match finished 1-1 at St James' Park.
Howe later said: "A tough game, I don't think we played particularly well, we were off our best level and one for us to reflect on.
"It was a difficult game for me emotionally, I tried to block everything out and treat it like another fixture but you see a lot of people you know well.
"Pleased to get through the game but disappointed not to win the game."
