Schade Double Saves Brentford Point at Bournemouth

Kevin Schade netted a double as Brentford came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth, leaving Marco Rose still waiting for his first Premier League win as head coach. Schade headed Brentford in front in the first half before Justin Kluivert levelled four minutes before the break. Marcus Tavernier, who scored his third of the season, then put Bournemouth ahead eight minutes after half-time, leaving Rose dreaming of a first Premier League victory.

However, Dorde Petrovic's lax ball out from the back was seized upon just three minutes later by Schade, who struck again to restore parity. Bournemouth have now led in all four of their Premier League games this season without winning any of them. They had already become only the second side to do so in their opening three matches, after Chelsea in 1992/93.

It continues a worrying trend for Bournemouth, who have dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League team since the start of last season. Brentford, meanwhile, remain unbeaten in their opening four league games under Keith Andrews, although they have now dropped points from winning positions in three successive matches themselves. The Bees also extend their unbeaten league run against Bournemouth to 12 games, having not lost this fixture since August 2014.
