Bournemouth lost 1-0 at home to play-off rivals Brentford in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Bournemouth welcomed Brentford in what was a huge game in the top-six – Bournemouth went into kick-off knowing that a point would secure their play-off place, whilst Brentford needed a win to do so.
It was an exciting start to the game but come half-time, it was Brentford who were probable edging it. Jonathan Woodgate’s side were given the upper-hand though when Pontus Jansson was sent off after the restart, but Brentford wouldn’t give up.

Bournemouth though would be stunned when Bryan Mbeumo scored a scrappy second half winner for the visitors – moving them up into 3rd and confirming their place in the play-offs.
One man who played particularly poorly for the Cherries today was Junior Stanislas – he had a golden opportunity to score in the first half but fluffed his lines, summing up a dogged performance for the 31-year-old.
See what these Bournemouth fans had to say on Twitter about Stanislas’ performance today:
BILLING??? Must just be resting him for future games. Gives Stanislas a chance to play more centrally and get involved in the game cause he might as well have been watching this game so far. #afcb https://t.co/p0ZLZg7UoL

Stanislas has been utterly dreadful but you just know he's going to score

Stanislas kept on? Still 10v10 then…

What has Stanislas offered today? Pretty poor performance today. #afcb

There’s absolutely no point having a numerical advantage with Stanislas still on the pitch
