Semenyo Scores as Bournemouth Win Big at Old Trafford
Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo continued his stellar season with a sensational goal as Bournemouth thrashed Manchester United 3-0 in a Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
The Cherries took the lead in the 29th minute when 19-year-old Spanish center-back Dean Huijsen rose highest to head home Ryan Christie’s pinpoint free kick, leaving United goalkeeper Andre Onana rooted to the spot.
Bournemouth doubled their advantage in the second half when Justin Kluivert converted from the penalty spot after a foul inside the box. The icing on the cake came from Antoine Semenyo, who completed the scoring with a sublime finish, sealing a commanding victory for the visitors.
The defeat piles more misery on Manchester United, who have struggled for consistency under new manager Rúben Amorim. Since the dismissal of Erik ten Hag, United have secured only two league wins and suffered three losses under the Portuguese coach.
United recently stunned City neighbors, Manchester City, beating the struggling side that has managed just one victory in their last 12 games.
Despite their recent shock victory over Manchester City, and with the lost to Bournemouth, United find themselves languishing in 13th place on the league table with just 23 points.
The loss to Bournemouth underscores the Red Devils’ fragile form as the season approaches its halfway mark.
For Bournemouth, the win is a significant boost, propelling them to 5th place with 28 points. The Cherries have been enjoying an impressive campaign and will look to build on this statement victory as they aim for European qualification.
Antoine Semenyo’s contributions this season continue to grab headlines, with the Ghanaian forward now boasting five league goals and an assist emerging as a key figure in Bournemouth’s set up.
