Brentford made it five away wins on the bounce with a 2-1 win at Bournemouth, whose hopes of Champions League qualification took a dent.
A dangerous run and cross from Milos Kerkez was the catalyst for Vitaly Janelt sending the ball into his own net to open the scoring for the hosts but Brentford hit back through a Yoane Wissa header.
Antoine Semenyo crashed a close-range header off the crossbar as the home side played with their usual threat and intensity, however, their final finish was lacking.
Brentford struck against the run of play to snatch the points when Christian Norgaard thumped home after a long-throw caused panic in the Bournemouth box.
