VIDEO: Watch Antoine Semenyo's goal for Bournemouth against Wolves

Antoine Semenyo emerged as the hero, netting the solitary goal as 10-man Bournemouth secured a crucial victory over Wolves at Molineux, propelling them into the Premier League's top half despite adversity.

Semenyo, making a impactful return to the starting lineup, found the breakthrough with a clinical finish from close range, notching his eighth goal of the season after Wolves failed to clear their lines.

Bournemouth displayed an attacking mindset from the onset, creating numerous scoring opportunities.

Dominic Solanke, Alex Scott, Milos Kerkez, and Justin Kluivert tested the resilience of Wolves' goalkeeper Jose Sa, who stood firm against the relentless barrage.

Although Bournemouth's wastefulness threatened to haunt them, their stout defending and Sa's heroics kept Wolves at bay.

Hopes of an equalizer were dashed when Hwang Hee-chan's goal was disallowed by VAR due to a foul in the buildup, adding to Wolves' frustration.

Referee Stuart Attwell, under scrutiny following recent VAR controversies, deemed Matheus Cunha's challenge on Kluivert as a foul, nullifying Hwang's effort.

The decision preserved Bournemouth's slender lead and maintained their momentum.

Despite a spirited offensive display from Wolves, Bournemouth's resilience endured, even after Kerkez received a straight red card in the dying minutes for a challenge on Matt Doherty.

Andoni Iraola's men held firm throughout the tense finale, including an extended 12 minutes of stoppage time, clinching a valuable victory that propels them to 10th in the league standings, just two points adrift of eighth-placed West Ham. Meanwhile, Wolves' disappointment sees them slip to 12th place.
