Both teams could have felt hard done by if they had lost that match. Bournemouth put together an enterprising display and could easily have had a second goal earlier than they did, with Christie and Semenyo going close. Brentford, meanwhile, saw Schade, Wissa and Lewis-Potter all hit the post, and they will be breathing a huge sigh of relief following Mbeumo's late intervention.
And breathe. The referee brings this thrilling encounter to an end, and it finishes Brentford 2-2 Bournemouth! Having fallen behind to Jensen's early free-kick, the Cherries were on course for their first league win under Iraola, Solanke levelling things up before Brooks capitalised on Henry's error to put them 2-1 up with 13 minutes left. Brentford, however, continued to knock on the door, and Kerkez's mistake allowed Mbeumo to slot home three minutes into stoppage time. A game neither side deserved to lose finishes all square!
FULL-TIME: BRENTFORD 2-2 BOURNEMOUTH.
CLOSE TO 3-2! Onyeka fires a low cross in from the right, but no Brentford player can turn it home! The Bees come again with Bournemouth clinging on, but Onyeka fires over from the edge of the box! Surely that will be that?
Frank is urging Brentford forward in search of a dramatic winner! A corner from the left is flicked on, but Neto gets up to hold it!
Assist Nathan Michael Collins
Bournemouth are camped in their own penalty area now, but Brentford can't find a way through. Ajer looks to flick on Mbeumo's cross, but he gets his header all wrong and it rolls behind.
Goal Bryan Tetsadong Marceau Mbeumo
Mbeumo's cross is headed away by Mepham as the fourth official's board goes up. We will have SIX additional minutes.
