Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo continued his impressive form for AFC Bournemouth, propelling the Cherries to a surprise victory over Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Following their recent exit from the EFL Cup, Manchester City aimed to bounce back and maintain their title hopes, but Bournemouth had other plans.
Semenyo opened the scoring in the ninth minute, capitalising on a brilliant run and a precise pass from Milos Kerkez. He wasted no time, connecting with the ball and slotting it into the net to give Bournemouth an early lead.
Despite Manchester City's attempts to equalise, Bournemouth extended their advantage in the 64th minute when Evanilson doubled the lead.
Josko Gvardiol pulled one back for City in the 82nd minute, but it was not enough to change the outcome, as Bournemouth secured all three points.
With this victory, Bournemouth climbed to eighth place in the league table, while Semenyo increased his tally for the season to four goals, making him the club's top scorer this season.
As Bournemouth look to build on this momentum, they will aim to continue their strong performances in upcoming matches.
