Brentford continues remarkable run on the road
Brentford came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 and continue its extraordinary run of form on the road in the Premier League.
Christian Norgaard's 71st-minute strike proved decisive at Vitality Stadium, where Vitaly Janelt's own goal put Bournemouth ahead.
The excellent Milos Kerkez created Bournemouth's opener, with Janelt diverting in the Hungarian's cross, but Thomas Frank's team showed plenty of grit to turn matters around.
Yoane Wissa headed in an equaliser, with Kepa Arrizabalaga caught in no man's land from Bryan Mbeumo's inswinging corner.
Antoine Semenyo passed up a golden chance to restore Bournemouth's lead when he headed against the crossbar early in the second half, and that miss proved costly when Kevin Schade's long throw was swept home by Norgaard.
David Brooks missed a similarly glaring opportunity in the 80th minute when he prodded straight at Mark Flekken, as Brentford held firm to make it five straight away wins in the league for the first time since 2010, when it was in the third tier.
It marks Brentford's 50th Premier League victory, with the Bees the fastest team to reach that milestone since 1995.
