Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth
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?

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.

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!

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!

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!
