Antoine Semenho Scored for the Cherries amid speculation over his future, with Manchester City Intensified in recent days, but his light has been overshadowed bee Attacker Schade at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Schad scored in the seventh minute and Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic scored a hilarious own goal just before halftime to make it 2-0.
Shedd scored the second goal at the start of the second period and although Semenho pulled one back in the 75th minute, Shedd headed home in stoppage time to secure a sixth home win for Keith Andrews’ side in the Premier League this season.
It was a forgettable afternoon for Andoni Iola as Bournemouth’s winless run now reaches nine games.
All eyes were on the highly-fancied Semenho before kick-off but Brentford took the lead after he had a shot saved.
Michael Kayode’s long pass caused trouble for Petrovic before Yehor Yarmoliuk was hauled off the touchline before the home side opened the scoring seven minutes from time.
Brentford’s top scorer Igor Thiago turned provider when he passed to Schade, who blocked the timid Bafode Diakite and fired into the bottom corner, ending his run of seven games without a goal.
Semenho remained central to the game but a misjudged flick almost led to Brentford’s second goal, with Thiago firing tamely at Petrovic on the counter-attack.
Kristoffer Ajer should have made it 2-0 when he headed wide from Vitaly Janelt’s free kick. Bournemouth were in trouble when Marcos Senesi’s poor clearance passed straight to Schade, but he squandered the opportunity in the box.
Lewis Cook soon required treatment for the visitors, which temporarily halted Brentford’s momentum, but Andrews saw his side luckily get a deserved second goal in the 39th minute.
Diakite’s difficult afternoon got worse again when he returned to the goal line to clear Thiago’s shot, but his clearance bumped into teammate Petrovic and the ball ricocheted into the net.
Cherries boss Ilaura had seen enough and brought on David Brooks, Justin Kluivert and Evan Nelson at half-time.
Bournemouth launched waves of attacks at the start of the second half, but Brentford struck hard in the 51st minute.
After Alejandro Jimenez’s cross was cleared, Schade quickly broke through and scored from Yarmoliuk’s cross to make the score 3-0.
That failed to stop Bournemouth, with Brooks blocked by Cowichan Kelleher and Kluivert’s shot blocked before hitting the post from close range.
With 15 minutes left in the game, Jimenez broke into the penalty area and his cross was blocked by Semenho’s backheel from a few yards out.
There was no comeback, and although Kean Lewis-Porter missed an open goal late on, Shad completed his hat-trick with a header in injury time.
