Ghana international Antoine Semenyo hailed AFC Bournemouth’s rise to second in the Premier League as a significant achievement following their thrilling comeback against Fulham at the Vitality Stadium.
After a goalless first half, Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon put the visitors ahead, but Semenyo turned the game on its head with a brace, complemented by a strike from Justin Kluivert, securing a memorable victory for the home side.
Reflecting on his first goal, the 25-year-old told Premier League Production: “I was thinking, just beat the full-back. Get down the by-line, maybe cross it. But all the options were blocked, and I was looking at the keeper’s legs. Execution was right, great finish.
“I’m just playing with confidence, enjoying playing with this team. Loving every moment.”
“What an evening. I can’t even explain what’s going on, this feeling. Going second, going into the international break. It’s an achievement for us, we’ve just got to keep going,” he added.
The win elevates Andoni Iraola’s side to second place in the Premier League with 14 points.
Semenyo, now with six goals and three assists this season, continues to shine as one of the league’s standout performers.
His impressive form has also earned him a call-up to Otto Addo’s 24-man Ghana squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
