In a night filled with history at Goodison Park, Antoine Semenyo stole the spotlight with an audacious penalty that left Jordan Pickford and Everton stunned.

As Bournemouth secured a 2-0 victory in what was the final FA Cup fixture at the iconic stadium before Everton’s move to a new home, Semenyo’s unique spot-kick technique became the biggest talking point. The Ghanaian forward turned his back to Pickford before swiftly pivoting and striking the ball with pinpoint accuracy, catching the England shot-stopper off guard.

Speaking to Bleacher Report, the 24-year-old shed light on his unorthodox approach:

“The ball is really light as well, so like, if you hit it well, the keeper isn’t getting there. Even if he guesses the right direction, he isn’t getting there. That’s my staple now. It catches keepers off guard, so why not?”

Semenyo’s goal set the tone for Bournemouth’s victory, adding to his impressive season tally of seven goals and five assists in 29 appearances. With a crucial FA Cup fifth-round clash against Wolves ahead, the Black Stars forward’s confidence and flair could be key to Bournemouth’s continued cup run.
