Antoine Semenyo, the Ghanaian forward, opened his goal tally for the season as he scored for AFC Bournemouth against Liverpool and has sparked social media trends
Nevertheless, this goal couldn’t prevent Liverpool from securing a 3-1 victory.
Semenyo, who earned his place in the starting lineup due to his impressive display against West Ham a week earlier, wasted no time in making an impact. In just three minutes into the match, he fired a powerful shot that beat Liverpool’s goalkeeper Allison, granting Bournemouth the lead.
However, Semenyo’s delight was short-lived, as he received a yellow card only 13 minutes later. Liverpool used this opportunity to level the score, with Luis Diaz finding the back of the net.
As the match continued, Liverpool gained momentum. In the 37th minute, Mohamed Salah seized a rebound from a saved penalty, propelling the hosts into the lead by halftime.
Despite being reduced to 10 players, Liverpool extended their advantage in the second half. Despite their numerical disadvantage, they maintained their lead, leaving Bournemouth struggling to regain control.
Semenyo’s goal couldn’t translate into a Bournemouth comeback. Liverpool’s solid defense and efficient finishing played a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.
Semenyo’s performance in this game marked his second consecutive match with goal contributions, following his assist for Dominic Solanke’s goal against West Ham the previous Sunday. While this game didn’t yield any points for Bournemouth, Semenyo’s form bodes well for the team’s future endeavors.
