Antoine Semenyo overtook legend Tony Yeboah to claim the title of Ghana’s second-highest all-time Premier League goalscorer with a scintillating brace in Bournemouth’s 3-1 comeback victory over Fulham.
The 25-year-old’s heroics at the Vitality Stadium propelled his Premier League tally to 26 goals, surpassing Yeboah’s iconic mark of 24, with only Jordan Ayew’s 42 goals ahead of him.
Semenyo’s milestone moment came on a stormy Friday, October 3, 2025 night in the Premier League’s seventh matchweek with Fulham taking the lead through Ryan Sessegnon in the 70th minute, but Semenyo ignited Bournemouth’s fightback.
His first goal was a clinical right-footed strike that leveled the score, showcasing his composure under pressure. Moments later he turned provider, delivering a pinpoint assist for Justin Kluivert’s goal to give Bournemouth the lead.
A breathtaking left-footed volley on a counterattack from deep in his own half, sealing the 3-1 win and earning him a 9.1 rating and the Man of the Match award.
The victory pushed Bournemouth to second in the Premier League table, just one point behind leaders Liverpool, Semenyo’s six goals and three assists in seven games this season underscore his pivotal role.
