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.

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!

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.
