Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo showcased his talent once again as he played a pivotal role in Bournemouth’s impressive 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the English Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.
The game started off with both teams evenly matched, but it was Bournemouth who took the lead going into half-time. Huijsen’s well-placed header found the back of the net, giving the visitors a 1-0 advantage at the break.
Manchester United’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed in the second half, as a dangerous free-kick from Christie caused chaos in the United box. The Cherries capitalized on the opportunity, extending their lead to 2-0.
The lead was further extended in the 61st minute when Kluivert calmly slotted home a penalty, sending United goalkeeper Onana the wrong way. The scoreline now stood at 2-0 in favor of Bournemouth.
Semenyo, who had been influential throughout the game, put the icing on the cake with a clinical finish. Ouattara delivered a perfect cut-back from the left byline, allowing Semenyo to fire a low shot past Onana from close range, sealing Bournemouth’s emphatic victory.
The defeat marked Manchester United’s second consecutive loss under manager Ruben Amorim, following their recent exit from the EFL Cup at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.
Semenyo has been in fine form for Bournemouth this season, featuring in 15 matches and contributing 5 goals and 1 assist. The Ghanaian striker will be eager to continue his goal-scoring exploits in the upcoming games.
Bournemouth’s 3-0 triumph over Manchester United at Old Trafford serves as a repeat of last year’s December victory, highlighting the Cherries’ dominance over the Red Devils in recent encounters.
