Yoane Wissa’s remarkable form continued as he netted a brace to help Brentford clinch a thrilling 3-2 victory over Bournemouth at the Gtech Community Stadium, bouncing back emphatically from their last Premier League outing against Fulham.
Looking to make amends after a late collapse against Fulham, where Harry Wilson scored two goals in injury time to steal the show, the Bees were eager for a strong response. Their challenge was compounded when Evanilson capitalized on a defensive blunder from Sepp van den Berg, giving the Cherries an early advantage.
However, Wissa’s header swiftly levelled the score, bringing the home crowd back to life. Bournemouth struck again through Justin Kluivert shortly after halftime, but Brentford wasn’t to be denied. Goals from Mikkel Damsgaard and Wissa’s second secured all three points for the Bees, showcasing their resilience and determination.

In other action, Harry Wilson proved his worth off the bench, scoring to help Fulham defeat a lackluster Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park. Emile Smith Rowe, hailing from nearby Thornton Heath, put Fulham ahead early, only to have a second goal ruled out soon after the break. The match spiraled further for Palace when Daichi Kamada received a red card, leaving them to navigate the remainder of the match a man down.
Wilson’s late effort, just moments after stepping onto the pitch, sealed the game for Fulham as they celebrated a hard-fought victory.
Meanwhile, Wolves finally tasted victory this season, dispatching Southampton 2-0 with goals from Pablo Sarabia and Matheus Cunha. This important win lifted some of the mounting pressure on manager Gary O’Neil, even as Russell Martin’s Saints found themselves languishing at the bottom of the table following yet another disappointing display.
Despite Ryan Manning’s disallowed effort for Southampton due to VAR scrutiny, Cunha’s stunning long-range strike ensured Wolves secured their first win—and clean sheet—of the campaign.
Elsewhere, Jordan Pickford was the hero for Everton, helping them to a hard-fought draw against West Ham. The English shot-stopper was in fine form, denying attempts from Jarrod Bowen and Danny Ings, as both sides settled for a goalless stalemate in a match that lacked the quality expected at this level.
West Ham’s disappointing start under manager Julen Lopetegui continues, though they at least managed to earn a clean sheet for the first time this season, as the search for their first win goes on.
