Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

17:07

We hope you have enjoyed our coverage of this end-to-end Premier League contest. It's goodbye for now, and we'll see you next time!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

17:07

Both teams could have felt hard done by if they had lost that match. Bournemouth put together an enterprising display and could easily have had a second goal earlier than they did, with Christie and Semenyo going close. Brentford, meanwhile, saw Schade, Wissa and Lewis-Potter all hit the post, and they will be breathing a huge sigh of relief following Mbeumo's late intervention.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

17:05

And breathe. The referee brings this thrilling encounter to an end, and it finishes Brentford 2-2 Bournemouth! Having fallen behind to Jensen's early free-kick, the Cherries were on course for their first league win under Iraola, Solanke levelling things up before Brooks capitalised on Henry's error to put them 2-1 up with 13 minutes left. Brentford, however, continued to knock on the door, and Kerkez's mistake allowed Mbeumo to slot home three minutes into stoppage time. A game neither side deserved to lose finishes all square!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:59

FULL-TIME: BRENTFORD 2-2 BOURNEMOUTH.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:58

CLOSE TO 3-2! Onyeka fires a low cross in from the right, but no Brentford player can turn it home! The Bees come again with Bournemouth clinging on, but Onyeka fires over from the edge of the box! Surely that will be that?

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:56

Frank is urging Brentford forward in search of a dramatic winner! A corner from the left is flicked on, but Neto gets up to hold it!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:54

Assist Nathan Michael Collins

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:54

Bournemouth are camped in their own penalty area now, but Brentford can't find a way through. Ajer looks to flick on Mbeumo's cross, but he gets his header all wrong and it rolls behind.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:53

Goal Bryan Tetsadong Marceau Mbeumo

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:52

Mbeumo's cross is headed away by Mepham as the fourth official's board goes up. We will have SIX additional minutes.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:51

It's not clicking for Brentford in attack, and Frank is very animated on the sidelines. You'd imagine there will be a significant chunk of added time to come here.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:48

Mepham replaces Christie in a defensive change from Iraola.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:47

Wissa goes down under pressure from Billing inside the area, but the referee is not interested. That looked very theatrical from the Brentford man.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:47

Olakigbe is involved for the first time, running at Aarons before cutting inside and seeing a shot deflect wide. Brentford whip the resulting corner towards the near post… but Solanke clears.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:46

Kerkez goes down inside his own area and receives treatment, but the left-back is soon back to his feet and he looks okay to continue.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:46

Chance! Mbeumo beats Kerkez for pace before cutting the ball back for Ajer, who can only turn his shot straight into the hands of Neto. Time is running out for Brentford…

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:42

Bournemouth almost kill the contest as Brooks whips a shot towards the far corner… but it flashes narrowly wide! He has been terrific since coming on.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:42

Substitution Mathias Jensen Kristoffer Vassbakk Ajer

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:41

The Bournemouth fans are in fine voice now. Brentford have been knocking on the door since the break, but Henry's awful error has put them behind for the first time in this game. Can the Cherries hold on?

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:38

OFF THE POST AGAIN! Brentford strike the woodwork for a third time! Onyeka gets up on the underlap to fire a powerful cross towards the back post. It strikes Lewis-Potter on his thigh and crashes off the upright! He may have been in an offside position anyway, however.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:38

Assist Marcus Joseph Tavernier

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:37

Goal David Robert Brooks

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:37

Another chance! Lewis-Potter and Henry combine on the left, with the latter crossing for Wissa. The Brentford forward swings at the ball and completely misses it! Bournemouth escape again!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:37

GREAT SAVE! Brentford win a corner on the left flank, which Norgaard meets with a free header six yards out. He gets plenty of power on his attempt, but Neto flicks his right hand out to push it away from the top-left corner! It's still 1-1, but only just!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:35

Almost! Onyeka battles for possession near the byline and eventually finds Mbeumo. He charges into the area and sends a teasing cross across the six-yard box, but no Brentford player is able to turn it home!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:32

Substitution Kevin Schade Keane William Lewis-Potter

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:31

The pace of the game has slowed as both teams ready themselves for one final push. This contest has resembled a basketball game at times – is there a further twist to come in the last 20 minutes?

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:31

Substitution Vitaly Janelt Ogochukwu Frank Onyeka

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:31

Substitution Justin Dean Kluivert Marcus Joseph Tavernier

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:29

Yellow Card Mathias Jensen

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:29

Bournemouth ended the first half on top, but Brentford have created the better chances since the break. They have managed six shots worth 0.73 xG to the Cherries' three (0.12 xG) in the second half.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:26

Jensen hurls another long throw towards a crowded Bournemouth area. It's headed as far clear as Henry, who smashes a long-range shot wide.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:25

Yellow Card Norberto Murara Neto

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:23

Prior to this game, Mbeumo had been involved in eight goals in his last six Premier League appearances (six goals, two assists), accounting for 67% of the Bees' total in those matches (8/12).

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:21

POST! Brentford hit the woodwork for the second time! Henry gets forward on the break to feed Wissa, who twists and turns before sending a low shot off the base of the left-hand post and wide! So close!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:21

Substitution Antoine Serlom Semenyo David Robert Brooks

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:21

Over! Billing exchanges passes with Christie before looking for goal from 20 yards out, but he lifts his effort over the crossbar. That was another flowing move from the visitors.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:18

Kluivert's header almost sends Semenyo through as he darts across Henry with a blind-side run, but the winger rushes his shot and slices it well wide.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:18

Norgaard meets the corner at the near post, but his header is always rising and doesn't trouble Neto.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:17

Things are getting a little feisty here. Frank is furious as Hickey is denied a free-kick on the Brentford right, before a foul on Schade on the other flank allows the hosts to deliver a deep free-kick, which is put behind for a corner.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:15

Bournemouth are winless in their last seven Premier League games (D1 L6), having won five of their last seven immediately before this run. Can they complete the turnaround to claim a huge three points here?

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:13

Billing's dreadful corner is cleared by the first defender. You wonder whether Bournemouth would be better off putting their towering Dane inside the area from set-piece situations.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:12

Yellow Card Maximillian James Aarons

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:12

Now Bournemouth threaten at the other end as the ball breaks for Christie, who sees his low drive turned around the post by Flekken. The resulting corner is headed behind by Hickey for another set-piece.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:11

Another left-off! Janelt arrives unmarked to meet a teasing cross just six yards out, but his tame header is straight at Neto! Bournemouth are living dangerously!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:09

WHAT A MISS FROM MBEUMO! How it is not 2-1?! Zabarnyi's error allows Henry in, and the Brentford full-back finds Mbeumo with a great cutback. He has the whole goal to aim at from 10 yards out, but somehow bends his shot wide of the bottom-left corner!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

16:07

Bournemouth goalscorer Solanke gets the ball rolling for the second half!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:57

Bournemouth could have folded after falling behind early on, but Iraola will be delighted with their response. Solanke, Christie and Kerkez have all looked bright for the Cherries, who have consistently threatened down the left-hand side. Brentford will be looking for more from Wissa and Mbeumo, who have been uncharacteristically quiet.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:55

The half-time whistle sounds and there's nothing to split Brentford and Bournemouth at the halfway point of this fascinating tussle. The hosts took the lead in bizarre fashion as Neto raced to the edge of his area to concede a cheap free-kick, from which he was beaten at his near post by the opportunistic Jensen. Bournemouth levelled when Solanke cut inside on the break to beat Flekken, and the Cherries have also gone close through Christie and Semenyo. Brentford will also feel they should have scored a second goal, however, with Schade hitting the post and Pinnock spurning a great chance.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:51

HALF-TIME: BRENTFORD 1-1 BOURNEMOUTH.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:51

Aarons makes a great challenge to stop Schade bursting into the area after cutting inside from the left. We've got just one minute to play before the break now.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:49

We're into three additional minutes at the end of a very entertaining first half.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:49

GREAT SAVE FROM FLEKKEN! It's panic stations for Brentford as Kerkez's cross is awkwardly cleared up into the air by Jensen. Flekken then only finds Semenyo with a poor punch, but the goalkeeper does brilliantly to get back to his feet and smother the winger's goalbound header.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:46

Brentford's fans appeal for handball as Mbeumo's cross strikes Kerkez, but there's nothing doing there. The left-back's arm was down by his side.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:45

Both teams have managed six shots at goal so far, with Brentford narrowly edging the xG battle with 0.74 to Bournemouth's 0.72. It's been a fiercely competitive affair, played at breakneck speed.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:43

Hickey strides forward and shoots from 30 yards out. His effort takes a big deflection which almost wrong-foots Neto, but the Bournemouth goalkeeper repositions himself to hold.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:42

Kluivert has looked very bright on Bournemouth's left flank. He gets to the byline once again, but he lacks support is eventually crowded out.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:40

The pace of the game has just dropped slightly after a frantic few minutes. Both sides have played the first 38 minutes of this match at full throttle.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:38

Solanke has now been involved in eight of Bournemouth's last 12 Premier League goals (four goals, four assists), including all three of the Cherries' strikes in the top flight so far this season (two goals, one assist).

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:38

GREAT CHANCE FOR BRENTFORD! It's end-to-end stuff here as the hosts go close. Jensen chips a right-wing free-kick towards the far post, where Pinnock beats the offside trap and has a free header at goal. Neto is helpless, but the Brentford defender leans back and sends his effort over!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:36

Bournemouth are well on top now, and they are hunting a second! They create a four-on-three situation on the break, but Christie takes the wrong option as he cuts inside and sees his shot blocked.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:33

Assist Marcos Nicolás Senesi Barón

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:33

Bournemouth come again as Kluivert beats Hickey to reach the byline, but his low cross is cleared by Pinnock.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:32

Goal Dominic Ayodele Solanke-Mitchell

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:32

Close! Billing wins possession in the Brentford half before finding Christie to his left. Christie looks for the bottom-right corner from just outside the area, but he drags his effort just wide!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:31

Great defending! Solanke bursts down the left flank before delivering an inviting cross, but none of his team-mates are attacking it as Mee calmy chests the ball back to Flekken.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:28

Wissa has time to turn and strike inside the area. His shot hits Senesi and almost drops for Jensen, but the midfielder can only carry it behind under pressure from Neto.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:27

We've had a breathless start here, with both teams going close since Jensen's bizarre opener for Brentford. Surely there are more goals to come in west London.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:26

SCHADE HITS THE POST! So close to a second Brentford goal! Schade shows incredible pace to reach Norgaard's ball over the top and volley at goal under pressure from Neto. He connects well with his effort, but it takes a slick nick off the goalkeeper and bounces clear off the upright!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:24

This is much better from Bournemouth, who are penning Brentford back now. Semenyo steps inside to shoot from the edge of the area, but Mee blocks it before Hickey wins a foul for his team.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:23

WHAT A CHANCE! Christie dances beyond Pinnock before sitting Mee down and facing up Flekken. He looks set to score a brilliant solo goal, but the midfielder neglects to pull the trigger and Solanke inadvertently prods the ball away from his team-mate! That should've been 1-1!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:22

Solanke is all alone on the break after a Brentford attack breaks down. He looks to beat Mee and Pinnock for pace and reach the area, but Mee steps across him to make an excellent challenge.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:21

Brentford are keeping the ball patiently at the back, with Flekken looking to draw Bournemouth's press high up the pitch.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:20

Henry and Wissa combine as Brentford attack down the left once again, but the flag goes up against the Bees forward, allowing Bournemouth a reprieve.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:18

Jensen hurls a long throw into the Bournemouth area, but Zabarnyi heads clear before Janelt overhits his cross, sending the ball floating behind for a goal-kick.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:17

That goal has clearly given Brentford a lift – the Gtech Community Stadium is bouncing and the Bees are buzzing around Bournemouth at every opportunity, pressing high and forcing mistakes.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:16

Since the start of last season, no team have dropped more points from winning positions in Premier League home games than Brentford (15, level with Nottingham Forest). There is still hope for Bournemouth here, but they've had far from an ideal start!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:15

What a bizarre way to open the scoring! It took 13 seconds for the goal to be awarded, with Jensen's free-kick just creeping beyond Neto's goal line before he could push it out!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:12

Neto is fortunate to avoid a booking there, having panicked and taken Schade's legs away as he looked to steal possession, just to the left of the penalty area. Jensen will deliver the resulting free-kick from a promising position…

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:12

Real danger for Bournemouth! Neto gets a fingertip to Norgaard's cross but is unable to hold it under pressure from Schade. With the ball running out of the penalty area, Neto swings at a clearance and takes the Brentford's striker's legs away, conceding a free-kick just outside the box!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:09

Goal Mathias Jensen

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:09

Mbeumo lifts an early Brentford free-kick to the far post, where Mee is forward to chest the ball down and deliver a bouncing cross. There are plenty of red and white shirts attacking the six-yard box, but Bournemouth clear their lines.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:07

Schade – who scored a magnificent goal against Crystal Palace last time out – looks to charge into the area from the left-hand side. However, the German fouls Aarons and hands Bournemouth a free-kick.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:05

Bournemouth – dressed in a yellow and navy change strip – are in possession early on. Kluivert feeds Christie on the underlap, but his low cross is held by Flekken.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

15:04

We're under way here as Brentford get the ball rolling!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

14:57

Brentford have only lost one of their last 17 Premier League home games (W8 D8). Will the Gtech Community Stadium remain a fortress, or can Bournemouth grab their first league win of the campaign? The teams are out here in west London, and we're about to find out!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

14:53

Bournemouth were also pushed close by lower-league opposition in the EFL Cup, requiring a 90th-minute winner from Christie to beat Swansea City 3-2. Iraola makes just two changes to the side beaten by Tottenham last week, as Cook and Senesi come in for Rothwell and Lloyd Kelly, who is left out after the Cherries rejected a deadline-day bid from Spurs for his services. Luis Sinisterra is also absent after joining on loan from Leeds United.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

14:53

A much-changed Brentford team survived a huge scare to win Tuesday's EFL Cup tie at Newport County via a penalty shoot-out, but there's a more familiar look to Frank's lineup here. Mee returned from injury in midweek, and he replaces Collins for his first outing of the league season in the heart of defence. Brentford re-signed their former striker Neal Maupay on loan on deadline day, but he is not involved.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

14:49

BOURNEMOUTH SUBS: Andrei Radu, Chris Mepham, David Brooks, Joe Rothwell, Adam Smith, Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore, Hamed Traore, Gavin Kilkenny.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

BOURNEMOUTH (4-2-3-1): Neto; Max Aarons, Illia Zabarnyi, Marcos Senesi, Milos Kerkez; Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook; Antoine Semenyo, Philip Billing, Justin Kluivert; Dominic Solanke.

BRENTFORD SUBS: Thomas Strakosha, Saman Ghoddos, Frank Onyeka, Kristoffer Ajer, Nathan Collins, Keane Lewis-Potter, Mads Roerslev, Yehor Yarmolyuk, Michael Olakigbe.

BRENTFORD (4-3-3): Mark Flekken; Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee, Rico Henry; Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard, Vitaly Janelt; Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Kevin Schade.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

14:37

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are still awaiting their first league win under Andoni Iraola. The fixture list has not been kind to the Cherries, who have been beaten by Liverpool and Tottenham since drawing with West Ham on matchday one. Bournemouth have been very active in the transfer market, but with the likes of Tyler Adams and Alex Scott still not fit enough to make their debuts, they need to start picking up points to tide them over.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

14:33

It has been a case of no Ivan Toney, no problem for Brentford so far this season! Thomas Frank's side are one of just six Premier League teams to enter matchday four still unbeaten, taking five points from their three games this term, though both of their fixtures on this ground have finished level. The Bees failed with a big-money move for PSV's Johan Bakayoko on deadline day, but with Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo in great form, they will be content with the firepower in their ranks.
