Semenyo Shines as Bournemouth Thrash West Brom to Advance in FA Cup
Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo delivered a standout performance off the bench as AFC Bournemouth cruised to a commanding 5-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup fourth round.
Starting on the bench, Semenyo entered the game shortly after halftime and made an immediate impact, scoring within the first minute of the half to extend Bournemouth’s lead to 4-1.
Bournemouth had to recover from an early setback after conceding the opening goal but rallied brilliantly with goals from Justin Kluivert and a brace from Dango Ouattara to lead 3-1 at the interval.
Semenyo’s influence didn’t stop at his goal. Late in the game, he provided a perfectly weighted assist for Daniel Jebbinson, who rounded off the scoring in a dominant display by the Cherries.
The emphatic win sees Bournemouth progress to the FA Cup fifth round, where they await the results of the draw set to take place on Sunday, January 12, following the highly anticipated Arsenal vs. Manchester United clash.
Semenyo’s contribution underlines his growing importance to Bournemouth, as the team continues to balance their domestic and cup ambitions.
