Marco Rose will be wondering what he must do to get that first league win on the board.

Bournemouth were the first to score in each of their opening three league fixtures but still arrived at this game searching for a victory under their new head coach.

Tuesday's 4-0 win against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup finally handed the German his first win as the Cherries boss and was a performance that raised hopes they could carry the momentum into the weekend.

However, they had to battle their way to a point after going behind.

And the hosts will feel they had done enough to win as they passed up a number of gilt-edged chances over the 90 minutes.

Silva's free header went wide early on, while Rayan failed to hit the target from the rebound after Caoimhin Kelleher's save shortly after Brentford opened the scoring.

Alex Scott also ballooned an effort over after excellent work from Evanilson and then Ben Gannon-Doak couldn't find that last-gasp winner.

Bournemouth's attention will now turn to their continental debut at Real Sociedad in their Europa League opener on Thursday.
