Semenyo admits Bournemouth’s win over Brighton was ‘ugly’

Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has admitted that AFC Bournemouth’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion was far from their best performance, describing it as an “ugly win.”

The Cherries secured all three points at the Vitality Stadium over the weekend, with Semenyo scoring the decisive goal — his third in just four league matches this season.

Reflecting on the result in a post-match interview with the club’s media team, the 24-year-old acknowledged the performance lacked fluency but praised the team’s resilience.

“It wasn’t us at our best, and like I said, it was pretty ugly!” he said.

“The manager said it might go this way – it did, and we found a way to win. It’s a really good side to show in our game,” he added.

Semenyo, who has enjoyed a blistering start to the campaign, will be hoping to extend his fine form when Bournemouth host Newcastle United at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, September 21, at 13:00 GMT.
