Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo opened his 2025/26 Premier League campaign in style, netting twice against Liverpool on Friday, August 15, at Anfield. Although Bournemouth fell 4-2 to the reigning champions, Semenyo’s explosive pace and sharp finishing caught the spotlight.

Liverpool took control early, with new signing Hugo Ekitike scoring in the 37th minute and later assisting Cody Gakpo’s strike in the 49th. Bournemouth looked out of the contest until Semenyo reignited hope in the 64th minute, converting David Brooks’ precise cross.

His second goal, a breathtaking solo effort, came in the 78th minute when he won the ball deep in his own half, surged nearly 70 meters, and fired past Alisson to level the score. However, Federico Chiesa restored Liverpool’s advantage in the 88th minute before Mohamed Salah sealed the victory in stoppage time.
