Bournemouth secured their first Premier League win of the season with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Wolves after a four-minute Marcus Tavernier strike that deflected in off Emmanuel Agbadou. Wolves struggled to create chances and were reduced to ten men when Toti Gomes received a second-half red card for a last-man foul on Evanilson, leaving them to play nearly the entire half a man down. Bournemouth were wasteful in front of goal and faced a nervy finish but held on for three points. Wolves dropped to 19th and have lost their opening two matches four times in five seasons. Semenyo now has 30 Premier League goal involvements, ranking joint-third among Ghanaian players.
The Cherries had produced a fine display against defending champions Liverpool at Anfield and made a fast start here, going ahead after just four minutes as Marcus Tavernier thumped an effort home via a deflection from Emmanuel Agbadou. Wolves struggled to create chances throughout the match, and their task was made a lot tougher in the second half as Toti Gomes was given a red card for a last-man foul on Evanilson.
Wolves move down to 19th in the table, with only West Ham below them on goal difference. Data Debrief: Familiar early season slump from Wolves Following today's defeat, Wolves have now lost their first two matches of the league season for the fourth time in five seasons, with the sole exception being the 2022/23 campaign when they picked up one point.
Semenyo added an assist to his brace on the opening day and now has 30 Premier League goal involvements, which is the joint-third most by a Ghanaian player in the competition alongside Andre Ayew, only behind Jeffrey Schlupp (36) and Jordan Ayew (67). Wolves were forced to play nearly all the second half with 10 men after Toti's dismissal, and that follows a familiar theme between these two sides, with four of the last five matches featuring a red card.
