Overview
- At the Gtech Community Stadium, Kevin Schade struck in the seventh minute, added a 51st-minute finish, and completed his hat-trick in stoppage time.
- A Djordje Petrovic own goal made it 2-0 before the break when Bafode Diakite’s goal-line clearance rebounded off the goalkeeper and into the net.
- Antoine Semenyo reduced the deficit in the 75th minute with a close-range back-heel after an incisive run and cross from Alex Jimenez.
- Bournemouth’s local player ratings highlighted defensive frailties, with Diakite heavily criticised and Petrovic’s confidence questioned after recent errors.
- The victory was Brentford’s sixth Premier League home win of the season, underscoring an increasingly reliable record in London.
