"Bournemouth fans must have feared the worst when 200m worth of first-team players left during the summer. But keeping hold of one star - Antoine Semenyo - proved an absolute masterstroke as the Ghana winger has been the inspiration behind their climb to second spot in the Premier League. The 25-year-old scored twice, and assisted one, as Bournemouth came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 on Friday and move to within one point of Premier League leaders Liverpool."
"The first strike to equalise was special as he picked the ball up on the left wing, left defenders in his wake, took it to the byeline and then slotted the ball through Bernd Leno's legs from a tight angle. He then set up Justin Kluivert's goal before netting in injury time on a counter-attack. That takes him up to six league goals this season, only behind Mancheter City's generational goalscorer Erling Haaland."
Bournemouth lost 200m worth of first-team players during the summer, but Antoine Semenyo remained and has driven the team's rise to second in the Premier League. The 25-year-old scored twice and provided an assist as Bournemouth recovered to beat Fulham 3-1, including a left-wing solo equaliser through Bernd Leno's legs and a late injury-time finish from a counter-attack. He now has six league goals this season and, since May, has been directly involved in 12 Premier League goals (eight goals, four assists). Bristol City signed him from South Gloucestershire and Stroud College at 17. Semenyo was linked with top clubs but signed a five-year deal on 1 July.
