In the new campaign, Semenyo has made 6 appearances, netting three times. In his 50 matches in the English top division, Semenyo has scored 12 times for AFC Bournemouth.

“I just tried to create some space and shoot really and I got enough space and I hit it hard and low and it trickled in. So I’m happy. I caught the defenders off guard, a chop and like I said, I just wanted to create space and get a shot away. I did and it went in,” he said after the game, as quoted by Ghana Soccernet.

The England-born Ghanaian forward has been an instrumental figure for the club, playing a key role as they amassed the best point haul last season.

Following the departure of Dominic Solanke in the summer transfer window, the Black Stars striker has been leading the lines alongside new recruit Evanilson.
