    FT: Brentford 2-1 Bournemouth

    Brentford with a superb victory as they come from behind to inflict just a third defeat of the season on Bournemouth.

    Dominic Solanke put the Cherries ahead before Henrik Dalsgaard headed an equaliser before half-time.

    Thomas Frank's side then weathered a storm from Bournemouth before substitute Tarique Fosu headed in a winner 10 minutes from time.

    A huge result for the Bees to round off their 2020.

    A few afters off the ball from both sets of players after Ivan Toney is fouled by Adam Smith.

    GOAL: Brentford 2-1 Bournemouthpublished at 79 mins

    Tariqe Fosu

    Is this the winner?

    What a move and what a goal it is if it proves to be.

    Brentford come from behind to lead with just over 10 minutes to play.

    Tariqe Fosu comes off the bench to head them into the lead after Bryan Mbeumo produces a brilliant cross from the right to the back post to find him unmarked.

    Brentford 1-1 Bournemouth

    Ivan Toney thinks he's broken the Bournemouth offside trap for half a second but the whistle is blown and the flag goes up just as he begins bearing down on the Cherries' penalty box.

    Just as well too from the visitors' perspective as Asmir Begovic floors the Bees striker as he races off his line and that might have been a tricky decision to make for the referee.

    Brentford 1-1 Bournemouth

    More danger for Brentford to deal with as Ethan Pinnock has to cut out an Adam Smith cross from the right.

    David Brooks' following corner is also hooked clear by David Raya's hands.

    Brentford 1-1 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth now making all the running as we move towards the last 15 minutes or so.

    David Brooks is the latest to carve out some space around the Brentford penalty area with a low ball across the danger area.

    The Bees get it clear this time but they are finding it hard to get out of their own halfnow.

    Brentford 1-1 Bournemouth

    Joshua King gets himself into the action almost immediately as he finds a bit of space down the right.

    Opens up the body to take a right-footed strike across the goal but that's well held by David Raya above his head.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 69 mins

    Brentford 1-1 Bournemouth

    Time for a first Bournemouth change.

    It's Joshua King who makes a welcome return to action and Lewis Cook, who was booked earlier, makes way.

    Brentford 1-1 Bournemouth

    Junior Stanislas tries to execute a training-ground free-kick routine for Bournemouth that was almost akin to Joe Bryan's effort that caught out David Raya at Wembley in the play-off final back in July.

    He's not to be fooled this time the Brentford keeper as he calmly gathers that shot to the centre of his goal.

    A first change meanwhile for the hosts as Tarique Fosu replaces Sergi Canos in midfield.
