"Andoni Iraola's side dominated the first half without reward as James Hill and Ryan Christie went close to breaching the Brentford defence, the latter rounding Caoimhin Kelleher but firing wide. Marcus Tavernier tested the reflexes of Kelleher in the opening period, though he could not have imagined the frustration that would follow in the second half."
"The Bournemouth midfielder struck the woodwork twice but felt he should have had a penalty when Michael Kayode appeared to clip his heels after the pair attacked Alex Jimenez's delightful low cross. But Djordje Petrovic still had to be alert at the other end, first denying Dango Ouattara's half-volley before palming away when Sepp van den Berg connected well with a downwards header."
"Bournemouth have still never won in eight attempts in the Premier League against Brentford (D3 L5), with the Bees the only side that they have faced without yet winning in the competition. But it was a familiar story for Iraola's side, who have drawn more Premier League games than any other side this season (13)."
Bournemouth and Brentford played to a goalless draw at the Vitality Stadium in a match where the hosts controlled proceedings but failed to convert their opportunities. Bournemouth created several clear chances in the first half through James Hill and Ryan Christie, while Marcus Tavernier struck the woodwork twice in the second period. A potential penalty claim went unawarded when Michael Kayode appeared to foul Tavernier. Evanilson had a late goal ruled out for offside, and Junior Kroupi's effort went wide. Brentford's goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher made important saves to keep the match level. The draw extended Bournemouth's unbeaten run to nine games while giving Brentford a valuable away point.
