Antoine Semenyo's glaring miss was the standout moment in Bournemouth's impressive 2-0 victory over Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

Despite not finding the back of the net, Semenyo's relentless pressure on Arsenal’s backline was evident throughout the match.

However, the moment that drew the most attention came in the 76th minute.

Semenyo's terrible miss

After being set up perfectly by Dango Ouattara, who found him unmarked in the box, Semenyo had only the goalkeeper to beat.

Instead of finishing calmly, the Black Stars forward blasted his effort over the bar, holding his head in his hands in disbelief at the missed opportunity.

Fortunately for the 24-year-old, his error did not prove costly.

Bournemouth had already secured a two-goal cushion, thanks to second-half strikes from Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert, which handed Arsenal their first defeat of the Premier League season, per talkSPORT.
