Wuanito Daniel: Never a penalty nothing he could do. And to think there are still people who oppose VAR.

Cally: Not sure what the commentators are watching. Clearcut penalty for Brentford.

Two contrasting views on the Brentford penalty.

A big cheer goes up from the home crowd as Mathias Jensen throws himself at a clearance from Bournemouth right-back Adam Smith and concedes a throw-in on the right.

This game has been breathless.

Henrik Dalsgaard stepped in to stop a Bournemouth counter-attack moments ago.

Then Sergi Canos trips Adam Smith, but the Cherries can't make anything from the free-kick.

That equaliser has understandably given Brentford, and their fans, a big boost.

Ivan Toney and Asmir Begovic are both booked for their reactions to that goal.

Begovic races after Toney to grab the ball off him inside his box.

Then the Bosnian keeper goes to the ground as Toney looks to reclaim the ball and restart the game.

Emiliano Marcondes is inside the box and looks to clip the ball back across goal.

Lloyd Kelly slides in and diverts the ball behind off his arm.

The Bees appeal for a penalty, and it's given!

Bournemouth can't believe it.

Bournemouth survive the corner.

As do the Bees, this time.

Ivan Toney gets his head to an inswinging cross from Sergi Canos.

He can't direct it on goal but Lloyd Kelly heads behind for a Bees corner.

The hosts might hope not to concede from this one.

Strong challenge on Ivan Toney by Chris Mepham and the Bees get a free-kick 35 yards out.

Toney takes exception to a little kick out after the foul was awarded, and referee Jarred Gillett has to step in to calm things down.

A niggly moment as Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks goes down in a challenge.

Play is eventually stopped, and the Welshman then shushes a Brentford players who complained at him.

The home crowd are already showing a bit of frustration and grumbling. Their side have made the worst possible start.

It was a composed finish from Arnaut Danjuma.

He advanced forward and stroked the ball past Brentford keeper David Raya.

But what were the Bees thinking from that corner? One clearance set the Dutchman free.

Brentford have a mountain to climb now.

Bournemouth keeper Asmir Begovic passes the ball straight out of play as he comes under pressure from Bryan Mbeumo.

It's a throw in for the Bees level with the penalty spot on the right.

It's headed behind by Philip Billing for a corner.

A concern for Brentford as Mathias Jensen goes down and gets up rather gingerly clutching his hip.

The midfielder seems to be okay to continue, but they'll monitor the Dane.

Bournemouth have the kick-off and the Bees put them under pressure straight away and win possession.

It looks like the hosts are sticking with three at the back, with Henrik Dalsgaard as a right-sided centre-back and Mads Roerslev at wing-back on the right.

Off we go.

Can Bournemouth get at least a draw and make Wembley?

Or will Brentford turn the tie around?

The first leg showed how form can go out of the window during the play-offs.

Brentford won both meetings with Bournemouth during the regular campaign, and finished 10 points above the Cherries in the table.

The Bees also went into Monday's game on a 12-match unbeaten run, having won four in a row before their trip to Dorset.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth had lost their final three games of the campaign without scoring, but went on to beat the west Londoners.

The Dorset outfit also managed to shut out Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who has scored 31 league goals this season.

We're about to find out how the second leg will pan out, as kick-off is almost upon us...

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has just done a lap of the pitch to get the home supporters going.

There's nowhere near a full crowd because of Covid-19 restrictions, but the hosts need their 12th man firmly behind them.

Brentford fan feeling confident? Bournemouth supporters getting nervous?
