Bournemouth, England (AP) — Bournemouth got off 1-0 and scored three late goals to beat Fulham 3-1 in Friday’s thrilling and brave Premier League encounter.
Antoine Semeño scored twice, moved to second place at the table and was outstanding on the home side, extending to six games after losing to champion Liverpool over the opening weekend.
In the first half, Goalmas actions were little as both sides struggled to impose themselves in the wet, windy conditions that attacked England’s southern coast.
However, the game sparked life last quarter, with Ryan Sesegnon giving Fulham the lead 70 minutes later, running for 70 minutes and plunging a clean pass from Samuel Chukwageze into the house.
However, the home side returned to the game after eight minutes. Sprito Simeño scored from the tightest angle and knocked the ball through the foot of goalkeeper Berntreno.
Justin Kruibert then gave Bournemouth the lead when he broke a long-range strike with six minutes remaining on the clock.
Semeño added a third to six minutes of stoppage time when he finished the fight back by calmly filling a pass from Benganganondoak. The goal was to rank Semeño’s league in six in seven games.
“What a night,” said Semenyo, who enjoyed her. “I can’t even explain this feeling about what’s going on. I’m going to go second and enter an international break. It’s an achievement for us. We have to continue.
“They went before, it was a bit frustrating, but we had a spell at the moment. We had to finish our chance. We did that in the end.”
This was a pissing case of Deja Vu for Fulham, scoring first in five of the last eight games.
Cottage has dropped more points from the championship position than any other club except Brentford since its start last season. I’m sitting in 11th place.
“It’s really a shame,” said Fulham defender Joachim Anderson. “We held them for great opportunities and were solid. Then we achieved our goal and that was to stick and fight together.
“It’s a punch in the face, but you need to keep your head high and move on.”
