Schade double denies Bournemouth first league win as Brentford rescue draw
Bournemouth were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Brentford, denying Marco Rose's side their first Premier League win under the new manager, as Kevin Schade scored twice for the visitors. It continued a troubling pattern for Bournemouth, who have now surrendered winning positions in all four of Rose's league matches, raising concerns despite the club's looming European debut in San Sebastián next week.
Brentford twice took the lead through Schade, first heading in a Yehor Yarmoliuk cross and later chipping in after a mishit James Hill back-pass, only for Bournemouth to fight back on both occasions through Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier. Bournemouth dominated on chances, managing ten shots on target compared with Brentford's two, but wasteful finishing from Rayan and others proved costly. The result stretched Bournemouth's poor record against Brentford to just one win in twelve years, while Brentford remain unbeaten this season.
- Bournemouth 2-2 Brentford; Kevin Schade scores both Brentford goals.
- Bournemouth blew a lead again, extending Rose's winless start.
- Brentford stay unbeaten; Bournemouth dominate shots but lack finishing.
