Antoine Semenyo has declared that he is playing the best football of his career after producing another match-winning display for Bournemouth. The Ghana international was outstanding in the Cherries’ 3-1 comeback win over Fulham, scoring twice and setting up Justin Kluivert in what was arguably his finest performance yet in the Premier League.
Fulham had taken the lead through Ryan Sessegnon, but Semenyo’s brilliance flipped the game. Picking up the ball on the left, he skipped past multiple defenders before finishing neatly through Bernd Leno’s legs from an impossible angle. He later capped his night in stoppage time with a second goal, latching onto a pass from Ben Pearson to seal the points and continue his red-hot form.
Semenyo’s impact has been central to Bournemouth’s strong start to the campaign, with the club sitting comfortably in the top half after seven league games — four wins, two draws and just one defeat. With six goals and three assists already, the forward has quickly become one of the most in-form players in the division.
Semenyo thanks God for his form
Speaking after the victory, the 24-year-old was quick to credit his faith as well as the team’s growing confidence under their head coach:
“I’d like to think I’m playing the best football of my career and I thank God massively. I’m reaping the rewards now and I thank him always.” — Antoine Semenyo
He added: “When I got the ball for my goal, I knew I was going to beat my man. I looked up and there were no options to cross so the next thought process was trying to get it through the keeper’s legs and it was executed perfectly. The second goal was different, I was tired but needed to be calm. Ben did really well to pick me out.”

With direct involvement in nine goals across his first eight matches, Semenyo is producing at an elite level. His blend of pace, power and composure in front of goal has transformed Bournemouth’s attack.
Analyst verdict: A breakout Premier League star
John William, FootballPlace analyst, believes Semenyo’s performances signal a new level in his career:
“Semenyo is no longer just a promising forward — he’s becoming one of the Premier League’s most dangerous attackers. His ability to both create and score goals gives Bournemouth a cutting edge they lacked last season. If he maintains this trajectory, he could easily hit double figures before Christmas.”
He continued: “What stands out is his confidence. You can see he believes he can beat any defender one-on-one. Combine that with his physicality and work rate, and you have a complete modern forward.”
Key insights
