Bournemouth registered their HIGHEST amount of possession at a home Premier League game this season on Saturday, having the ball 69% of the time.

Bournemouth's defeat at home to Brentford on Saturday saw Thomas Frank's side fully control the narrative. Whilst Iraola's side have often been the architects of their own demise recently, this time, the Bees were excellent at manipulating the outcome.As a result, they are currently three points behind Iraola’s side in the table, and after their 2-1 win at Dean Court, the race for Europe is hotting up.
