BEES ENJOY ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ROAD TRIP
Brentford came from behind to beat Bournemouth to renew their hopes of European football – and set a new club record.
After taking only two points from their first nine away games in the Premier League, Brentford have now won five in a row – the first time they have done so in any division.
Bournemouth, whose hopes of landing UEFA Champions League football are starting to fade after a frustrating run of form, made a fast start and took a deserved lead in the 17th minute when Milos Kerkez’s cross was deflected into his own net by Vitaly Janelt.
Yoane Wissa equalised 13 minutes later with a towering header from Bryan Mbeumo’s corner, and both teams had a number of chances to take the lead.
Antoine Semenyo spurned Bournemouth’s best opportunity, heading against the crossbar shortly after half-time.
A terrific match that could have gone either way was settled when Kevin Schade’s long throw bounced through to Christian Norgaard, who cracked an emphatic finish past Kepa.

That's an excellent win for Brentford, their fifth on the spin away from home in the league - the first time they that's happened in the club's history. Bournemouth started well and deserved to lead through Vitaly Janelt, but Brentford were a constant threat after that and took the points thanks to goals from Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard.

CHANCE FOR BOURNEMOUTH
Almost an instant dividend on that substitution for Andoni Iraola. Sinisterra, on the left, curls a beautiful cross that is met on the volley by Brooks, arriving late in the area. Either side and he would have scored but it was straight at Flekken.

PENALTY APPEAL FOR BOURNEMOUTH

BOURNEMOUTH SUBSTITUTION
Luis Sinisterra is on for Ryan Christie. Bournemouth are really going for it.

JUST OVER FROM TAVERNIER
Bournemouth work the ball superbly on the left before a dummy from Kluivert allows the ball to reach Evanilson. He lays it back to Tavernier, who sweeps a good effort over the bar from 20 yards. Lovely move that.

SCHADE GOES DOWN IN THE AREA
Schade falls over/dives in the area after a slight touch from Huijsen. The referee isn't interested.
