Kevin Schade 's first hat-trick for Brentford inspired a thumping 4-1 home win over sorry Bournemouth. Antoine Semenyo scored for the Cherries amid speculation over his future, with links to Manchester City intensifying in recent days, but he was overshadowed by Bees attacker Schade at Gtech Community Stadium.

Antoine Semenyo has been directly involved in 21 Premier League goals (15 goals, 6 assists) in 2025, the first ever Bournemouth to have more than 20 goals and assists combined in a calendar year in the competition. Bournemouth have conceded more goals than any other side in Europe's big-five leagues (22) since the start of November.

Antoine Semenyo wants his Bournemouth future resolved by the opening day of the January transfer window as Cherries are bracing for a late twist in the transfer saga. The Ghanaian winger is in the midst of a transfer tug of war with a number of Premier League sides hoping to lure the Bournemouth ace away from the Vitality Stadium next month.

Maresca may have to get inventive at left-back, with scans set to reveal whether Marc Cucurella suffered a hamstring injury against Villa. The Spaniard asked to be substituted around the 70-minute mark, and was replaced by Malo Gusto. Jorrel Hato has been injured and may well miss out again.

AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is disappointed with his side's lack of aggression and intensity in the first half against Brentford.

Keith Andrews’ Brentford beat Wolves 2-0 last time out to get back to winning ways and they are four games unbeaten at home as they sit 10 points above the relegation zone. The Bees continue to punch above their weight and a win against Bournemouth could put them into the race for European qualification.
