Bournemouth 1-2 Brentford: Christian Norgaard scores winner in Premier League

Brentford failed to win any of their first nine Premier League away games this season but have now won five successive away matches in the league, their best run on the road since 2010 in League One.

That is in contrast to their form at Gtech Community Stadium, where they were unbeaten until losing to Nottingham Forest on 21 December – and have not won since.

Wissa had scored the winning goal in Brentford’s previous two meetings with Bournemouth and his fourth goal in his past three appearances against the Cherries set the Bees on their way to a comeback win.

He nodded in the equaliser with Kepa Arrizabalaga stranded, the Bournemouth goalkeeper having travelled off his line to try to punch away Mbeumo’s corner.

That equaliser was the spark for Brentford’s best spell of the game, with Mbeumo’s effort from 20 yards flying just wide and Kevin Schade shooting off target after Bournemouth failed to clear a set-piece.

It was another delivery into the box that brought Brentford’s winner, Norgaard reacting first to fire in from close range after the ball slid under the feet of two players at the near post.
