Henrik Dalsgaard levelled for Brentford before the break
Substitute Tariqe Fosu sent Brentford second in the Championship with a late headed winner against fellow high-flyers Bournemouth.
Dominic Solanke, denied by a sliding goalline clearance by Pontus Jansson after just 37 seconds, gave the Cherries a deserved first-half lead with a neatly flicked close-range finish after meeting a low cross from Lloyd Kelly.
Henrik Dalsgaard replied before the break with a powerful near-post header from a Mathias Jensen corner, becoming the first player to score against Bournemouth in five matches.
Both sides pressed for a second-half winner, with Fosu decisively coming off the bench to help extend Brentford's unbeaten run to 16 games with a coolly taken header at the far post from a brilliantly crafted Bryan Mbeumo cross.
