Antoine Semenyo Stars with brace as Bournemouth stage comeback win over Fulham
4th October 2025
Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo delivered a stellar performance on Friday night, inspiring AFC Bournemouth to a thrilling 3-1 comeback victory over Fulham at the Vitality Stadium.
After a cagey opening hour, the breakthrough came in the 70th minute when Ryan Sessegnon put the visitors ahead with a precise finish. The goal, however, galvanized the home side into action.
Just minutes later, Semenyo restored parity with a sensational strike, unleashing a powerful effort that left the Fulham goalkeeper with no chance.
The Ghanaian wasn’t done yet — he turned creator shortly after, providing an assist for Justin Kluivert, whose composed finish gave Bournemouth a 2-1 lead.
With Fulham pressing for an equaliser in the closing stages, Bournemouth launched a devastating counter-attack in stoppage time, and Semenyo coolly slotted home his second goal to seal all three points.
The win lifts Bournemouth to second place in the Premier League table with 14 points, continuing their impressive start to the campaign.
For Semenyo, the brace and assist capped another standout display, taking his season tally to six goals and three assists.
His red-hot form has also earned him a call-up to Otto Addo’s 24-man Ghana squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
