Brentford Tops Bournemouth 2-1, Secures Fifth Straight Away Win

Brentford secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Bournemouth, marking their fifth consecutive away win, a feat not achieved in 15 years. After falling behind due to an own goal by Vitaly Janelt, Yoane Wissa equalized with a header from Bryan Mbeumo's cross, before Christian Norgaard scored the winner shortly after halftime. Bournemouth struggled to maintain their early momentum, having previously lost their last two home games, while Brentford's performance solidified their rise to 11th place in the league. The defeat is particularly costly for Bournemouth, as owner Bill Foley aims for continental competition, and this loss puts pressure on their ambitions. Despite a strong start, Bournemouth's inability to convert chances, including a missed header from Antoine Semenyo that hit the crossbar, ultimately led to their downfall. Brentford’s victory brings them within three points of Bournemouth, intensifying the competition between the two clubs.
