Semenyo celebrates
Ghana striker, Antoine Semenyo played a pivotal role for Bournemouth as they secured a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
The match saw a goalless first half, with Dominic Solanke opening the scoring for Bournemouth in the 51st minute after a mistake by Newcastle’s Martin Dubravka.
However, seven minutes later, Anthony Gordon controversially converted a penalty to equalize for Newcastle.
In the 82nd minute, Semenyo scored a stunning goal from outside the penalty area to seemingly secure a win for Bournemouth, but Matt Ritchie, a former Bournemouth player, scored the equalizer in the 85th minute to end the game in a draw.
