Brentford break Bournemouth hearts as they battle back to book Wembley play-off final spot after Marcus Forss came off the bench to score decisive late strike against 10-men Cherries and seal 3-2 aggregate win

Brentford battled back from a nightmare start to overcome Bournemouth and book their play-off final spot at Wembley.

Arnaut Danjuma had given Bournemouth the lead in the fifth minute after some suicidal defending from Brentford allowed the winger to latch on to a clearance from their own corner and sprint unchallenged to the other end of the pitch before slotting past David Raya.

Thomas Frank's men were handed a lifeline though when a cross into the box struck Lloyd Kelly's arm. The referee pointed to the spot and top scorer Ivan Toney done the rest, calmly curling into the corner to breathe life back into their play-off final hopes.
