"The forward, who is on the verge of joining Manchester City, provided yet another telling contribution for the Cherries when he struck in the final few minutes against Tottenham to end his side's 11-match run without a Premier League win. It was his 10th goal of the season and arguably one of his most memorable - certainly in terms of the context of the match and how dramatic the strike was, and to complete the magical moment it also came on his 26th birthday."
""If that is to be his last involvement for Bournemouth there is no better way for it to go," Semenyo's Bournemouth team-mate Marcus Tavernier told Sky Sports. "That was the type of stuff you write in movies and no man deserves it more than him.""
""That was lovely for Antoine," he said. "Sometimes football gives you these things. "He has been top - he has given everything and been committed until the end. I think it is good football gives him back this moment.""
Antoine Semenyo scored a late winner for Bournemouth against Tottenham, ending the club's 11-match Premier League winless run and marking his 10th goal of the season. The strike came in the final minutes and on his 26th birthday, allowing a sentimental farewell as he was substituted seconds later to receive the crowd's adulation. Semenyo is on the verge of joining Manchester City, and Bournemouth's manager praised his commitment and attitude up to his final involvement. Semenyo accounted for 41% of Bournemouth's Premier League goals and led the squad with 49 shots, 27 on target, making him a significant loss.
