Brentford came from a goal down to win 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, and earn a vital points swing in the race for European football.
Bournemouth were the beneficiary of an own goal by Vitaly Janelt to go a goal up in the 17th minute, but their lead was short-lived.
Yoane Wissa equalised less than 15 minutes later and Christian Norgaard fired in a second in the 71st minute to secure all three points for Thomas Frank's side, and slow Bournemouth's bid to play Champions League football next season.
