Go to watch a Brentford game at the Gtech Community Stadium this season and you are unlikely to be bored.
Great goals and comebacks have become regular occurrences at home games, and the Bees came from behind once again to beat Bournemouth 3-2 on Saturday.
That came after they fought back from 2-0 down in their previous home game to beat Ipswich 4-3, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring a 96th-minute winner.
The match before that? A remarkable 5-3 victory over Wolves.
"We're in the entertainment business, so we thought we would give you something for the money," boss Thomas Frank said after that late drama, and his side ensured their fans got value for money again on Saturday.
"They are the league's entertainers," said BBC Final Score presenter Jason Mohammad.
After scoring twice on Saturday, forward Yoane Wissa told Sky Sports: "It's always magic that happens at the Gtech."
