The difference in Semeño’s early goals Dean Court
Bournemouth forward Antoine Semegno came just 53 seconds later as Cherry jumped over Fulham to finish in eighth in the Premier League.
Semenyo used a rare mistake from Fulham’s valuable left-back Antony Robinson to spike goals before filling in a nice low shot past Berndoreno.
The impressive finish was the ninth goal ever scored in the opening minutes of the Premier League season, with a 2022-23 record of 10.
Evanilson hit a crossbar on the golden chance when the host bossed the first half.
However, the table rotated after the break. Fulham saw nearly 70% of the ball without success as Marco Silva’s side failed to truly test Kepa in the Bournemouth net.

Both sides enjoy a good season, each with 48 points and playing six games.
Aston Villa has a six-point gap in 7th place, but Manchester City, which will bring Champions League football next season, has only seven points.
Bournemouth played nine games without winning and hadn’t won at home since January, so Semenyo’s decisive strike was just as important as it was early.
Cherry never reached 49 points in the Premier League, so it is in the historic haul cusp.
