Ghanaian forward Tarique Fosu Henry helped his promotion chasing Brentford FC to beat Bournemouth in their Championship game on Saturday.

Brentford substitute Bryan Mbeumo scored the winner just two minutes after coming on as the 10-man Bees held on to beat Championship play-off rivals Bournemouth.

While that catapulted the Bees up above the Cherries into third, it also kept second-placed Watford waiting, for a few more hours at least, in their quest for automatic promotion.

A draw would have sent the Hornets up, but Brentford's win did not deny Watford as their 1-0 win over Millwall later on Saturday ensured they will join Norwich in the Premier League next season.

As it was, Brentford made light of defender Pontus Jansson's early second-half red card to end Bournemouth's run of seven straight league wins - and officially book the Bees' play-off place.

Tarique Fosu was replaced by Mads Bech Sørensen in the 55th minute after they went a man down.

The winner came on 77 minutes when Ivan Toney's shot was only parried by Asmir Begovic and Mbeumo neatly threaded home the rebound past two wrongfooted Cherries defenders.

Tarique Fosu Henry has scored four goals with four assists in 36 matches for the Bees this season.

The Bees now host relegation battlers Rotherham on Tuesday, before Bournemouth return to action next Saturday at bottom club Wycombe.
