'World class' Semenyo fires Bournemouth to 'unthinkable' heights
Bournemouth fans must have feared the worst when £200m worth of first-team players left during the summer.
But keeping hold of one star - Antoine Semenyo - proved an absolute masterstroke as the Ghana winger has been the inspiration behind their climb to second spot in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old scored twice, and assisted one, as Bournemouth came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 on Friday and move to within one point of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The first strike to equalise was special as he picked the ball up on the left wing, left defenders in his wake, took it to the byeline and then slotted the ball through Bernd Leno's legs from a tight angle.
