Semenyo Shines Again as Bournemouth Edge Wolves in FA Cup Thriller
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo once again stole the spotlight, delivering another Man of the Match performance as the Cherries edged Wolves in a dramatic FA Cup fifth-round clash.
The thrilling encounter saw both teams battle fiercely, with chances at both ends. Semenyo, instrumental in Bournemouth’s opening goal, reflected on the exhausting match, admitting that his side could have sealed the victory in normal time.
“It was end-to-end stuff. I feel like everyone’s legs started to go after 90 minutes,” he told BBC Match of the Day. “It went to penalties, and luckily we won—I’m grateful.”
Despite the tension of a penalty shootout, Bournemouth held their nerve to secure a spot in the quarter-finals. Semenyo acknowledged the need for more clinical finishing, believing it could improve their league position as well.
“I feel like we could have done it in 90 minutes, but the most important thing is that we got the win and we are into the next round,” he said. “As a group, we need to be a bit more clinical, and then maybe we would be higher in the table.”
With the Cherries now advancing, Semenyo is eager to see who they will face next as their FA Cup journey continues. “For now, we have got the win, and we will see who we get tomorrow.”
