LONDON - Brentford striker Yoane Wissa netted two goals as his side twice came from behind to grab a 3-2 win over Bournemouth in a rip-roaring Premier League clash on Saturday.
Bournemouth were gifted the opener in the 17th minute as Evanilson snapped up a bad back pass and rounded the keeper to score, but Wissa equalised with a header 10 minutes later to send the sides in level at the break.
Justin Kluivert put the visitors back in front shortly after halftime, only for Mikkel Damsgaard to level again just over a minute later, and Brentford took the lead for the first time in the 58th minute after Wissa finished a slick passing move with a cool chipped finish.
Lewis Cook struck the crossbar with a late effort but Brentford managed to hang on for a win that moved them up to 10th in the table on 16 points, one place and one point ahead of Bournemouth.
