Bournemouth striker, Antoine Semenyo
Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo scored a splendid goal for Bournemouth in their 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
Semenyo was outstanding in the game, scoring after getting the better of the English-born Ghanaian centre-back before unleashing a powerful shot with his weaker foot.
The goal put Bournemouth in the driving seat, but they could not hold on as Reece James marked his return from injury with a peach of a set-piece goal.
The goal capped off a brilliant evening for Semenyo, who was a thorn in the flesh of the Chelsea defense.
He was deeply involved in Bournemouth’s equalizer as he was tripped in the Chelsea box by Caicedo for the penalty that restored parity.
His runs and dribbles were difficult for Chelsea’s right-side defense of Moises Caicedo and Josh Acheampong.
The goal was Antoine Semenyo’s sixth of the 2024/2025 Premier League season, with the Ghanaian forward enjoying one of his best seasons in professional football.
Speaking after the game, Antoine Semenyo was disappointed that his side could not hold on to the 2-1 lead.
“We defended for our lives at times, and I feel that we should have got three points. At half-time, the manager wasn’t happy! He livened us up, we needed to get our press right, and we did that from the get-go in the second half.
“That resilience and determination is how we’ve got our points this season. We all work for each other, and that’s what we’re about, we’re resilient. I think we should have got something from the home game against Chelsea, and we could’ve got three points here, but we take the point and move on to the next one,” Antoine Semenyo shared.
In the 2024/2025 Premier League season, Semenyo has scored six goals and assisted twice in twenty (20) appearances.
