Bournemouth manager Marco Rose was denied his first Premier League victory as the team settled for a 2-2 draw against Brentford at the Vitality Stadium. The match, played on Sunday, saw Bournemouth twice come from behind before a late error by goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic allowed Brentford to preserve their unbeaten run.
Brentford took the lead early through Kevin Schade, who opened the scoring with a precise strike. Bournemouth responded with goals from Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier, turning the game in their favour and putting the home side ahead for the first time. However, the momentum shifted dramatically in the closing stages.
Petrovic’s mistake proved costly when Schade seized the opportunity to score his second goal of the match into an empty net, securing a draw for the visitors. The error denied Bournemouth the win, extending their wait for a first league victory under Rose to four matches.
Brentford’s ability to recover from the setbacks demonstrated their resilience, while Bournemouth’s defensive lapse highlighted ongoing challenges. The result means Brentford remain unbeaten at the start of the season, continuing to build confidence under their management, whereas Bournemouth must regroup to push for their initial top-flight success of the campaign.
