AFC Bournemouth vs Brentford
And breathe! Phew, that was some game in the end. Just when it seemed like the game was nearing a tame goalless end, three goals inside nine minutes including a stoppage-time winner turned this into a Premier League classic. Bournemouth had two Solanke goals disallowed in the first half and until the 85th minute, those were the biggest moments of the game. Mbeumo opened the scoring with another late goal against the Cherries, before Solanke finally got a goal, his 19th of the season, just four minutes later. However, Brentford looked very motivated to end their away campaign on a high and super-sub Wissa, who provided Mbeumo with the assist, smashed one into the net in stoppage time to win it. The Bees ended the game with a superior xG of 1.44 to the Cherries' 0.69
