Antoine Semenyo brought his Bournemouth chapter to a close in dramatic fashion, scoring deep into stoppage time to seal a thrilling 3\u20132 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Ghanaian winger, featuring for the 110th time for the Cherries and widely expected to be making his final appearance before completing a move to Manchester City, delivered the decisive moment in the 95th minute. Set up by David Brooks, Semenyo cut inside and rifled a right-footed effort into the far corner to secure all three points.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth had earlier looked set to be denied victory after Jo\u00e3o Palhinha hauled Tottenham level in the 78th minute with a spectacular bicycle kick. With momentum shifting late on, it took a moment of individual quality from Semenyo to swing the contest back in the hosts\u2019 favour.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old\u2019s late intervention capped a memorable final outing and underlined the impact he has made during his time at the club. His departure comes after a productive campaign in which he registered 10 goals and three assists in 20 appearances.<\/p>\n
Semenyo leaves Bournemouth having delivered one final decisive contribution, closing his spell at the club on a powerful note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
