Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo continued his remarkable form for AFC Bournemouth, leading the Cherries to a stunning victory over Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
After their recent elimination from the EFL Cup, Manchester City sought to rebound and keep their title aspirations alive, but Bournemouth had other plans in mind.
Semenyo got things started early, scoring in the ninth minute after a brilliant run and a precise pass from Milos Kerkez.
He swiftly connected with the ball, slotting it home to give Bournemouth an early advantage.
Despite Manchester City’s persistent efforts to level the match, Bournemouth extended their lead in the 64th minute with a goal from Evanilson.
City managed to pull one back in the 82nd minute through Josko Gvardiol, but it wasn't enough to alter the match's outcome, and Bournemouth claimed all three points.
With this victory, Bournemouth climbed to eighth place in the league table, while Semenyo increased his season tally to four goals, making him the club's top scorer.
As Bournemouth looks to maintain this momentum, they are eager to continue their strong performances in the upcoming matches.
