Mbuemo secures dramatic draw for Brentford against Bournemouth

BBC SPORT

Bryan Mbuemo’s stoppage time equaliser secured a dramatic point for unbeaten Brentford as Bournemouth failed to secure their first Premier League win under Andoni Iraola.

Brentford took an early lead through Mathias Jensen’s free kick, but Dominic Solanke levelled before the break.

David Brooks’ first top flight goal since recovering from Hodgkin’s lymphoma then gave the Cherries the lead deep into the second half.

Mbuemo had missed a great chance just after the break with the score level, but made amends three minutes into injury time by grabbing his fourth goal of the season to earn the home side a point.

Kevin Schade, Yoane Wissa and Keane Lewis-Potter all hit the woodwork for Brentford, and the latter’s miss looked to be the costliest as Bournemouth went ahead through Brooks just seconds later.

The Cherries were just a few minutes from what would have been their first Premier League win in eight outings since they beat Leeds 4-1 under previous manager Gary O’Neil on 30 April, but instead they finished with just two points from a possible 12 so far under Iraola.
