In a performance that left fans and pundits in awe, Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo delivered a standout display against Manchester City, helping AFC Bournemouth end the reigning champions’ 32-game unbeaten streak with a 2-1 victory at Vitality Stadium. The 24-year-old Black Stars striker clinched his fourth goal of the season, finishing off a precise cross from Milos Kerkez in a game that saw him shine from start to finish.

Former Watford legend and BBC pundit Troy Deeney, who names the weekly “Team of the Week,” was thoroughly impressed by Semenyo’s impact, dubbing him the Player of the Weekend. “He was the player of the weekend by far. Semenyo completely outplayed Kyle Walker. I’ll put it down to this – Walker had a 6/10 performance, while Semenyo was at a 9.5/10,” Deeney remarked.

Deeney noted the significance of the game for Semenyo, who he initially doubted could make the leap from Bristol City to the Premier League level. “I’ve been critical of Semenyo in the past, but he’s proven me wrong. He looks like he could be a force in the Premier League for a very long time.”

In his analysis, Deeney emphasized how Semenyo’s timing and physicality left Walker struggling, even describing a moment when Semenyo “bodied” Walker, a rare sight in a matchup against one of the league’s most seasoned defenders. “We’ve all had those games – if you’re Kyle, you’re just thinking, ‘stay away from me,'” Deeney added with admiration.

With this breakout performance, Semenyo has surely raised the bar, showing the Premier League his potential and leaving fans eager to see what’s next.
