Antoine Semenyo inspires Bournemouth to big win against Newcastle
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo continued his red-hot form after delivering another goal contribution as AFC Bournemouth thrashed Newcastle United at the Saint James Park.
Semenyo, who has scored six goals in the Premier League this season, served an assist in the 4-1 win as Andoni Iraola’s men climb to six on the table.
The Black Stars forward served Justin Kluivert with a precise cut back pass to open the scoring at Saint James. But the hosts levelled halfway through the game through Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaes, who strong header could not be stopped by Kepa Arizzabalaga.
The Cherries took the lead again just before half time after Kluivert slotted home from a Dango Ouattara pass.
After the break, Kluivert completed his hat-trick, his second of the campaign before Milos Kerkez sealed victory in injury time. Semenyo scored six goals and delivered three assists in 20 matches for Bournemouth this season.
