BOURNEMOUTH, England — Newcastle winger Matt Ritchie scored a stoppage-time equalizer against his former club on Saturday to secure a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth in the Premier League. The Scotland international, who left Bournemouth in 2016, lashed the ball home on the half-volley four minutes into added time. The draw edges both clubs closer to survival, with Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth 12 points above the bottom three and Newcastle six points off the drop zone. King levelled from the penalty spot three minutes after the restart when Federico Fernandez fouled Nathan Ake at a corner. But Newcastle rescued a point when Ritchie emphatically connected with DeAndre Yedlin’s right-wing cross.
