""Football sometimes gives you something back if you're really committed. He's one of the best players I've ever coached. He has been, if not the best, one of the best I have coached. He has improved every single season. He has scored 10 goals in half a season and he's not even a number nine. It is not just the numbers but a lot of things - the physicality, the balls in the air and the defensive things. He will be a big miss.""
""To play the way he did, with the commitment to help in whatever way until the last second... I think football has been fair and given him a lovely moment. We needed this one, we have been very close in the last few games. Football can not every time go to the other side and today was the perfect moment, also for Antoine.""
Antoine Semenyo scored a 94:40 stoppage-time winner on his 26th birthday to give Bournemouth a 3-2 victory over Tottenham, ending an 11-game wait for a win. The strike is Bournemouth's second-latest winning goal in Premier League history, behind Luis Sinisterra's 95:37 in August 2024. Semenyo has 40 direct Premier League goal involvements (30 goals, 10 assists), joint-fourth for Bournemouth behind Josh King (62), Callum Wilson (53) and Ryan Fraser (42). A reported £65m move to Manchester City appears likely. Commentary praised Semenyo's seasonal improvement, ten-goal half-season tally despite not being a number nine, physicality, aerial strength and defensive contributions.
