It finishes Bournemouth 2, Brentford 2 at the Vitality after a hugely hard-fought afternoon that, by the end, had pretty much everything.
Brentford took the lead through Kevin Schade, only for Bournemouth to fight their way back into it, equalise and then go ahead early in the second half. But Schade wasn’t finished there. A wayward pass out from the Bournemouth goalkeeper fell straight to the Brentford forward, and he still had plenty to do — but he produced a brilliant finish to bring the Bees level once again.
From there, it became frantic. The game opened up, chances came at both ends and, in the closing stages, it really could have gone either way. Bournemouth will probably look back with the greater sense of frustration, having created a host of excellent opportunities that, on another day, should have been enough to win the game. But Brentford had their moments too, and by the final whistle it was a breathless, end-to-end finish with both sides throwing everything forward.
A point apiece, Brentford remain unbeaten, and Kevin Schade walks away with two very different goals and a rather large chunk of the afternoon’s headlines.
