Semenyo's Early Strike Lifts Bournemouth Past Fulham in European Push

Posted : 15 April 2025

Antoine Semenyo scored in the opening minute to secure a 1-0 victory for Bournemouth over Fulham, reviving their hopes of qualifying for European competition. The win, their first in seven Premier League matches, came after Semenyo capitalized on a defensive lapse by Fulham captain Antonee Robinson to notch his 10th goal of the season.

 

Bournemouth, who had taken only two points from their previous six games, moved up to eighth in the table, surpassing both Fulham and Brighton on goal difference.

 

The match saw Bournemouth apply early pressure, with Evanilson nearly doubling the lead by hitting the crossbar. Fulham responded with attacking threats of their own, including a close-range header from Ryan Sessegnon that was saved by goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

 

 Changes at halftime and throughout the second half, including Fulham introducing Adama Traore and Raul Jimenez, added energy to the visitors’ attack, but Bournemouth’s defense held firm.

 

Late drama unfolded when VAR denied Bournemouth a penalty after Bernd Leno was judged to have touched the ball in a challenge with Evanilson.

 

Despite Fulham's late pressure, the hosts held out through seven minutes of added time to secure a crucial home win. Semenyo praised the team’s perseverance and emphasized their desire to earn a European place, describing the win as a vital boost during a challenging spell in their season.
