Kevin Schade scored a hat-trick as Brentford thrashed a lacklustre Bournemouth side who were unable to arrest their dismal recent run of form in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
The victory lifted the Bees up to eighth in the English top flight, while the Cherries are 15th as their winless run extended to nine matches – a sequence stretching over two months.<\/p>\n
Schade’s seventh-minute opener set the tone for the hosts. <\/p>\n
The Germany forward outmuscled visiting defender Bafode Diakite before angling a low effort past onrushing Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.<\/p>\n
Keith Andrews’ side spurned several opportunities to extend their lead before adding a farcical second. Striker Igor Thiago’s shot was partially blocked by Marcos Senesi and Petrovic, before Diakite’s attempted clearance cannoned off his own goalkeeper and into the net.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth, who offered little in attack aside from a first-minute effort from Antoine Semenyo, improved after the introduction of Evanilson, David Brooks and Justin Kluivert at the interval.<\/p>\n
However, Schade registered his fifth goal of the campaign when he turned home Yehor Yarmoliuk’s cross at the end of an incisive counter attack. <\/p>\n
And while Semenyo’s back-heeled finish delivered a late consolation, it proved too little too late against opponents who still had time to add another courtesy of Schade’s close-range header.<\/p>\n
