Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo marked his return to the starting lineup with a solid performance in his side’s narrow victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League on Thursday.

After serving a one-match suspension for accumulating five yellow cards, Semenyo missed Bournemouth’s thrilling 4-2 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. His absence was felt as the Ghanaian forward had been instrumental for the Cherries this season.

Returning with determination in Round 14, Semenyo started against a tough Spurs side. Bournemouth secured the decisive goal in the 17th minute when Dean Huijsen converted a brilliant pass from Marcus Tavernier. The Cherries defended their lead diligently to claim a crucial win.

Semenyo put in an energetic 85-minute shift, showcasing his work rate and attacking threat before being replaced by David Brooks. This performance adds to his impressive tally of four goals and one assist in 13 Premier League appearances this season.

The victory boosts Bournemouth’s confidence as they continue their fight to climb the league table. For Semenyo, the match reinforced his importance to both his club and Ghana’s Black Stars.
