Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo lauded by Bournemouth boss after goal against Liverpool

Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has been lauded by AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, following his performance in their Premier league away game to Liverpool FC.

Bournemouth lost 3-1 to Liverpool at the Anfield, with Antoine Semenyo scoring the only consolation goal for the visitors as Liverpool ended game with 10-men. New signing Alex Marc Allister was sent off in his first home game.

Semenyo’s performance in their first two matches has received praise from manager Andoni Iraola.

The 23-year-old featured in the first two games of the Premier League season, starting one and coming off the bench in the other.

“Antoine [Semenyo] was very good last week [vs. West Ham]. The minutes he played he gave good energy to the team,” Iraola said.

“[Against Liverpool] also, he pushed a lot. He really finished very tired.

“But I think what we expect from our forward players is to give everything they have. A player comes and we are in a good position.”

Having joined the Cherries in January, Semenyo started two games and made nine substitute appearances scoring once.
