In a thrilling 2-1 victory that left fans and players alike in disbelief, Bournemouth clinched their first-ever win over Premier League giants Manchester City. Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo, who was named Man of the Match, played a pivotal role, scoring a brilliant goal alongside Evanilson to deliver Bournemouth’s historic result after 22 attempts against the reigning champions.
Reflecting on the memorable match, Semenyo shared his excitement in an interview with BBC’s Match of the Day: “It feels amazing. To beat the best team in the world – that’s special. We made it tough for them, and the whole team is buzzing. A win is a win, whether it’s by one goal or three. We earned it.”
Semenyo also took a moment to commend his teammates, singling out Milos Kerkez for his crucial defensive efforts. “Milos was fantastic, making key blocks when we needed them. It was a tough match for all of us, but he kept us in the game,” Semenyo said.
Praising Evanilson, who scored Bournemouth’s second goal, Semenyo added, “We see his potential in training every day. Adjusting to a new league isn’t easy, but he’s finding his feet and the goals are coming.”
Semenyo’s optimism for Bournemouth’s season shone through as he concluded, “We believe in ourselves. We work hard every day, and while people may write us off, we know what we’re capable of.”
