Yoane Wissa scored twice as Brentford twice came from behind to beat Bournemouth and cement their status as this season's Premier League entertainers.

Only one team has conceded more goals at home than Brentford (11), yet the Bees have the league's best home record having earned 16 points from a possible 18.

That's because they have scored 18 goals from six games at the Gtech Community Stadium, with the scorelines in the past three being 5-3, 4-3 and 3-2.

The Bees now have two of the league's top six goalscorers in Wissa (seven) and Bryan Mbeumo (eight), and Brentford fans should expect them to keep coming.

Manager Thomas Frank admitted it took 20 minutes for his team to get going against Bournemouth, but as long as they keep winning, he says he would rather they win 5-4 than 1-0.
