Antoine Semenyo continued his impressive Premier League season on Saturday night, taking his tally to 10 goal contributions as AFC Bournemouth battled to a thrilling 4-4 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Ghana international was once again among the standout performers, underlining his growing influence in Andoni Iraola’s side.
The contest itself was a classic Premier League spectacle, with both teams trading blows in an open and chaotic encounter. Manchester United, backed by a vocal home crowd, enjoyed spells of dominance and looked set to claim all three points on more than one occasion. However, Bournemouth showed remarkable resilience, repeatedly clawing their way back into the match.
Semenyo’s goal proved vital in keeping the visitors in contention. The forward showcased his strength, direct running, and composure in front of goal, attributes that have become hallmarks of his game this season. His latest strike adds further weight to what is already a career-best campaign at the top level.
The 24-year-old’s rise has been anything but straightforward. Semenyo endured unsuccessful youth trials at Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur and was released by Crystal Palace at the age of 15.
