Ten shots on target, one point

Bournemouth drew 2-2 with Brentford despite ten shots on target. Brentford scored twice from their two efforts on target and comfortably outperformed their xG. The home side were the more dangerous team on chance quality, yet they led for only a brief spell.

Brentford fired far fewer shots than usual

Across their first four matches Brentford averaged 19.5 shots; here they managed eight. They also faced far more shots than their average, and won just one corner. The sample is only four matches, so caution is needed, but this was a clear outlier for them.

Kelleher's eight saves kept Brentford level

Half of Bournemouth's 20 shots came from outside the box, and their xG per shot was a modest 0.09, which suggests plenty of low-value attempts. Caoimhin Kelleher made eight saves to deal with the ones that did test him. The pressure was real, but clear-cut chances were scarcer than the shot count implies.

Schade twice dragged Brentford back

Marcus Tavernier's goal in the 52nd minute put Bournemouth ahead and was worth +1.1 FN xPts. Just four minutes later Kevin Schade levelled, and the home lead was over almost as soon as it began. It was Schade's third Premier League goal of the season, with the first coming in the 34th minute.

Player of the match

Adrien Truffert 8.1Dominant

He made eight tackles and three interceptions and won 11 of his 17 duels.

Truffert's biggest contribution came from his defending: eight tackles, three interceptions and 11 duels won out of 17. Brentford were held to eight shots, two of them on target, and their goals arrived in the 34th and 56th minutes. His work seems to have helped limit the volume of attempts, though he could not stop either goal and was dribbled past three times.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
