So it proved.

Judging by Truffert's wild celebrations, it was worth the wait as Bournemouth showed their mettle once more.
Some teams have folded after conceding an equaliser against Newcastle at St James' Park, but this Bournemouth side are resilient.
They were fresh from winning at Arsenal last week and this was another impressive victory.
Rather than retreating at 1-1, Bournemouth still sensed Newcastle had vulnerabilities and pushed for a winner.
Such a response was all the more impressive only days after Iraola confirmed he would be leaving at the end of his contract.
But his commitment and his players' commitment were never in doubt as they look to mount a late push for a European spot.
No wonder Iraola was serenaded by those Bournemouth supporters up in the gods at full-time.
This was worth the long trip.
