Zabarnyi's Return Fails to Lift Bournemouth as They Fall to Brentford
Bournemouth, once considered contenders for a European spot, extended their winless streak to four matches after a disappointing loss to Brentford. The return of Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarnyi, who missed the previous two Premier League games due to suspension, did little to change the team's fortunes.
Brentford, on the other hand, continued their solid form, with manager Thomas Frank giving playing time to Ukrainian midfielder Yehor Yarmoliuk. Yarmoliuk came on in the 72nd minute but had little impact on the game as it was already decided by then.
