Antoine Semenyo’s stunning winner seals farewell victory for Bournemouth
Antoine Semenyo ensured his Bournemouth chapter ended unforgettably, producing a dramatic stoppage-time winner to complete a sensational 3–2 comeback against Tottenham Hotspur.
Making what is expected to be his final outing for the Cherries, the Ghanaian forward marked his 110th appearance in style, rising to the occasion when the clock showed 90+5 minutes. With the Vitality Stadium holding its breath, Semenyo collected a pass from David Brooks, shifted the ball onto his stronger right foot, and fired a precise shot into the far corner to spark wild celebrations.
Just moments earlier, Bournemouth appeared to be heading for frustration after Tottenham had clawed their way back into the match, leveling the score in the 78th minute through Joao Palhinha’s acrobatic bicycle kick. The momentum seemed to favor Spurs — until Semenyo had other ideas.
His late intervention turned disbelief into euphoria, sealing a memorable victory and providing the perfect send-off ahead of his anticipated move to Manchester City. As the final whistle blew, the winger was greeted with a heartfelt standing ovation from every section of the stadium.
The 26-year-old leaves the south coast on a high, having delivered a final performance that underlined his importance to the club. Across 20 appearances this season, Semenyo contributed ten goals and three assists — numbers that reflect both his impact and consistency.
It was a fitting farewell for a player who saved his finest moment for the very end, signing off in a way Bournemouth supporters will not forget anytime soon.
