You Tube : Yoane Wissa scores late winner as visitors edge extraordinary game on south coast
Match report and free highlights as Brentford beat Bournemouth 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium; Yoane Wissa scored a 95th-minute winner after Dominic Solanke had cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo's strike; referee Matthew Donohue was at the centre of the action on his Premier League debut
Brentford substitute Yoane Wissa scored a 95th-minute winner against Bournemouth as the visitors edged an extraordinary Premier League game at the Vitality Stadium.
Wissa emphatically rounded off a counter-attack after Dominic Solanke's 19th Premier League goal of the season (89) had immediately cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo's 50th Brentford strike in all competitions (86).
The three late goals arrived after the officials had taken centre stage on the south coast, with referee Matthew Donohue - making his Premier League debut - overturning a Bournemouth goal and a Brentford penalty after being advised by VAR Chris Kavanagh to review both incidents at the pitchside monitor.
Officiating in the top flight for the first time since his promotion from the Championship, Donohue disallowed Solanke's first-half opener because of an Antoine Semenyo handball in the build-up and reversed a second-half Brentford spot-kick won by Ivan Toney.
In a battle between two strikers competing to make England's Euro 2024 squad, it was Toney's team who came out on top but Solanke who staked a better claim to earn a seat on the plane to Germany with Three Lions coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink watching on.
On another day, the Bournemouth forward could have scored a hat-trick, having also been penalised for a foul on Nathan Collins before finishing past Mark Flekken minutes after he appeared to have given his side the lead.
The defeat means the Cherries missed the chance to move a step closer to securing a top-half finish for the first time since 2016/17. They drop to 11th while Brentford, who were already safe from relegation after pulling away from the bottom three in recent weeks, stay 16th.
