Jordan Henderson restrained and pulled away as fight breaks out at end of Brentford match

Jordan Henderson had to be restrained by Brentford teammates and staff as a scuffle threatened to boil over.

The Bees were held to a 0-0 draw by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, but it was after the full-time whistle when tensions boiled over.

As staff members and players from both sides came together to shake hands, a fuse was evidently lit and Henderson did not take kindly to it.

The former Liverpool star was visibly fuming and needed four people, including Brentford manager Keith Andrews, to hold him back from Bournemouth coaches Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper.

A Brentford coach also was unhappy at the actions of the Cherries duo and was seen furiously pointing his finger in their direction.

Even Andrews appeared to be frustrated as he also directed his anger towards Cooper.

Cherries boss Andoni Iraola attempted to play peacemaker in the fracas before he moved on to shake hands with others.

Scoreless contest, but not devoid of action

It was a fiery end to what was a frustrating evening in front of goal as both sides combined for just four shots on target.

Bournemouth came closest to nicking all three points right at the death courtesy of Eli Kroupi.

The French forward was in the perfect position to sweep home Marcus Tavernier’s cut-back.

Although Kroupi made contact with the ball and appeared to have directed his effort on goal, it took a slight deflection off of teammate Enes Unal.

Unfortunately for Bournemouth, the nick off of Unal steered the ball agonisingly wide of the post.

Although he was almost the provider at the end, Tavernier nearly got on the scoresheet himself as he hit the post twice.

It was an all-action performance from the 26-year-old midfielder, as he had more shots and more touches inside the box than anyone else with five and seven respectively.

As for Henderson, he started the match but was taken off on the hour mark and was replaced by Yehor Yarmolyuk.

Where does this result leave Brentford and Bournemouth?

The scoreless draw left Brentford 7th in the table with 44 points, just four behind fifth-placed Liverpool who slipped to a shock 2-1 loss to Wolves.

As for Bournemouth, they have 40 points and are in 9th.

However, the Cherries could drop to 11th should Fulham gain at least a point against West Ham United and Brighton beat league leaders Arsenal on Wednesday.
