Brentford came from a goal down to beat Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium and register a fifth successive Premier League away win.
The hosts went in front when a Milos Kerkez cross went in off the shoulder of Brentford midfielder Vitaly Janelt.
However, Bournemouth's lead lasted for only 13 minutes as Yoane Wissa headed in his 14th Premier League goal of the season from Bryan Mbeumo's corner.
Brentford captain Christian Norgaard swept home the visitors' winner when Bournemouth failed to clear a second-half long throw into their penalty area.
With Carabao Cup finalists Newcastle not in Premier League action and Manchester City drawing against Brighton earlier on Saturday, a Bournemouth win would have lifted them to sixth in the table.
However, their prospects of qualifying for Europe were dented as their winless Premier League run was extended to four matches.
Antoine Semenyo should have put the Cherries back in front shortly after half-time but, unmarked six yards out, he headed Justin Kluivert's cross against the bar.
After Norgaard's goal, Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken saved from David Brooks and Marcus Tavernier to preserve his side's lead.
Bournemouth stay ninth in the table, three points above 11th-placed Brentford, who remain on the fringes of the race for Europe.
