They've had a few opportunities down the left-hand side already, and that's where the goal came from.

It's a simple one really, not tracking the runners, and it comes off Vitaly Janelt.

You've got to put your body on the line and block those.

Cristian Norgaard loops one over for Kevin Schade at the back post but his header is down into the ground and easily gathered by Kepa.

I think out of the two teams, Bournemouth are the team that want to set the tempo of the game and Brentford are trying to slow it down.

It means sometimes a pass can go astray or a touch doesn't go quite right.

After an 11-game unbeaten run in the Premier League between November and January (W7 D4), Bournemouth have now lost three of their last five (W1 D1). Since the start of February only the current bottom three sides (Southampton, Ipswich, Leicester) have earned fewer points than the Cherries (four).

Brighton & Hove Albion

Finally from Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler: "I came from the locker room and it's a disappointing feeling.

"We deserved to win. We had big chances, especially in the second half.

"I'm happy with the performance. You have to accept the result. It is good to be disappointed, but we should keep focusing on the performance.

"We have to learn from these things."

Brentford enjoy a decent spell of possession but can't put it to good use.

Evanilson darts up the other end but the Brazilian's shot floats over the bar.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has just delivered some worrying news about full-back Tariq Lamptey.

The former Chelsea man was due to return from suspension today but was not in the visitors squad at the Etihad Stadium.

Hurzeler's comments were vague. But they were not positive as he was asked why Lamptey and Solly March were missing.

"Tariq has a bigger issue," he said. "He had a bad moment in training and I can't say exactly how long he will be out."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to BBC MOTD: "We gave away goals in a very cheap way and we have to improve.

"The fact that we came back twice and we had big opportunities to go for the win is a very positive one. We showed our identity and that's how we want to play.

"Overall, I am happy with the performance, but not happy with the result.

"It is very obvious for me and clear that we should leave this pitch as a winner. Sometimes in football it's like this.

"We have to analyse this game and then we should be disappointed about the draw.

"We should stay grounded, humble and keep pushing each other.

"This club always works hard. We have a situation with the run after the Forest game. It is because we're doing the basics right. We have to keep doing it for the rest of the season."

Manchester City

Man City boss Pep Guardiola: "Unfortunately, we couldn't win. They had chances, but we had two clear chances with Savio [Savinho].

"We will take the point and go forward.

"This is football. We have to accept it. We have conceded a lot of goals this season and that's because of something missing."

On Ederson's injury: "Something abdominal - he doesn't feel good and we could not take a risk."

On Bernardo Silva injury: "I was seeing Bernardo couldn't walk properly. Don't take a risk."

Dean Huijsen sets off running and is allowed to just keep going. He lets fly from just outside the area but Nathan Collins turns it behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Tricky corner but Mark Flekken deals with it well.

Bournemouth have started the game well, zipping the ball around swiftly.

Brentford are the team on the back foot in these early stages.

Bournemouth have started the better of the two. Good ball threaded through from the middle of the park from Ryan Christie but Antoine Semenyo can't get the other side of Nathan Collins. Corner for the Cherries.

Wolves

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “In this moment of the season, we want to play good football. We had moments in the game where we played good football and we had [two chances] to score the third goal. If we had, the last 10 minutes would have been different.

“In 30 seconds, they scored their first goal. For a team that wants the three points, it was time to suffer together, be compact, defend and get the three points.”

On Jorgen Strand Larsen: “In the last game he didn’t perform at his level because he got his injury [a broken hand] two days before the match.

“He wanted to help the team but did not feel comfortable. Today, after one week, he is more comfortable with the injury. In my opinion, he did a fantastic job .”

On survival: “In this league, we cannot feel safe. The first mistake is to lose points. Now we have the [international] break and it’s important to rest a bit, but the next match is very important for us. We must control our games because we cannot control the opponents’ games.

“They are out of our control. We need to do our work to do well for our supporters, who were fantastic again. We cannot sleep.”

Antoine Semenyo tries to drive forward into the box but doesn't get very far before he's brought down.

Cries for a penalty from the home supporters but there's nothing in it. Looks like it was just outside the box anyway.

Keane Lewis-Potter jumps for the ball with Justin Kluivert and comes down with a bit of a bang.

He's holding his ribs but think he'll be OK to continue.

It's really tough to call.

The defences are going to have to be on top of their game to keep the strikers quiet.

I'm sure we'll get a few goals.

Almost the perfect start for Bournemouth on what is a glorious evening in the sunshine on the south coast.

Milos Kerkez tests Mark Flekken in the Brentford goal but it's a simple save in the end.

Away we go then in our late Premier League kick-off.
