Brentford 2-2 Bournemouth: Bryan Mbeumo's stoppage time strike denies visitors their first league win of the season after David Brooks' scored his first Premier League goal since winning cancer fight

David Brooks' first Premier League goal since his recovery from cancer wasn't enough to secure Bournemouth their first win of the Andoni Iraola era.

Brooks, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma two years ago and had last scored in the top flight in July 2020, made Brentford pay for a flurry of missed chances when he tapped home late in the second half after Rico Henry's mis-hit backpass.

In doing so, he completed a remarkable personal comeback — and looked like he had sealed one for his team. Dominic Solanke had earlier equalised for the visitors after Mathias Jensen's unlikely opener from a free-kick.
