Antoine Semenyo etched his name into Bournemouth’s history books, scoring the first goal for the club in a remarkable 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium. The atmosphere was electric, and Bournemouth set the tone from the beginning, pressing high and showing no fear against the reigning champions.

Early in the game, Semenyo made his presence felt with a powerful attempt, only to be denied by a sharp reflex save from Ederson. But Bournemouth didn’t relent. Their persistent pressure paid off in the ninth minute. Milos Kerkez, darting down the left flank, reached the byline and delivered a precise cut-back into the box. Semenyo was perfectly positioned and, with a clinical finish, turned the ball past Ederson to send the home crowd into raptures.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola praised Semenyo’s effort and timing. “We felt he deserved to get the numbers, and I am happy,” Iraola said. “He’s been working hard for this moment, and today he showed exactly what he brings to our team.”

The goal set the stage for Bournemouth to hold their own against a formidable Manchester City side, with every player putting in a shift to protect the lead. At the final whistle, the crowd erupted, celebrating a historic win that showcased Bournemouth’s resilience and determination. For Semenyo, it was a night to remember—his first goal against one of the toughest teams in the league, securing an unforgettable victory at the Vitality Stadium.
