AFC Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo says he is playing the best football of his career after his brace helped the Cherries secure a 3-1 comeback victory over Fulham at the Vitality Stadium on Friday night.
The game appeared destined for a stalemate after a goalless first half, but Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon broke the deadlock early in the second half.
Bournemouth responded in spectacular fashion, with Semenyo scoring twice and Justin Kluivert adding a stunning third to propel the home side to second place in the Premier League standings.
Reflecting on his performance, Semenyo expressed gratitude for his current run of form.
“It was a bit of a dull first-half, but the head coach told us at half-time to get as many shots in as we can,” he stated. “We conceded, which was frustrating, but we built up and built up and yeah, the win came.
Describing his goals, Semenyo added: “When I got the ball for my goal, I knew I was going to beat my man. I looked up, and there were no options to cross, so the next thought process was trying to get it through the keeper’s legs, and it was executed perfectly.
“I’m really happy with it. The second goal was different, I had to get my head down and run, see if I could support, I thought Ben was going to go by himself!”
The 25-year-old Ghana international credited his performances to faith as well as hard work.
“I was tired, but needed to be calm, and Ben did really well to pick me out. I don’t think it’s a surprise to people internally that we are doing well. We’ll keep pushing and see what happens.
“I’d like to think I’m playing the best football of my career and I thank God massively, I’m reaping the rewards now and I thank him always,” he added.
Semenyo’s latest exploits bring his season tally to six goals and three assists, further cementing his status as a key figure for Bournemouth.
His form has also earned him a place in Ghana head coach Otto Addo’s 24-man squad for this month’s decisive 2026 World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
