Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has revealed a behind-the-scenes message exchange with teammate Antoine Semenyo following their side’s crucial win over Arsenal.
The result, which came two days ago, dealt a blow to Arsenal’s title charge. The league leaders remain on 70 points and missed the chance to extend their lead to 73. Meanwhile, Manchester City sit on 64 points with a game in hand, keeping the title race wide open.
Speaking after the match, Scott shared a personal moment that followed the final whistle. “I texted Antoine afterwards. He was happy with us winning,” he said, giving insight into the mood within the Bournemouth camp.
Scott also addressed the ongoing title race. He acknowledged the challenge both title contenders present. “Obviously they’re top of the league. Both are tough places to come. Man City away is always really hard,” he said. Despite his connection with Semenyo, now at City, Scott avoided picking a clear favourite. “Whoever wins it wins it,” he added, suggesting both teams would deserve the title.
The midfielder then revealed a personal detail that adds another layer to his performance. Scott admitted he grew up supporting Tottenham Hotspur. That made his impact against Arsenal even more meaningful.
