Justin Kluivert praises 'world-class' Antoine Semenyo after Cherries victory

Andoni Iraola's men looked on course for their first top-flight defeat since the opening day when Ryan Sessegnon struck in the 70th minute after combining with substitute Samuel Chukwueze.

But Semenyo inspired the turnaround, levelling eight minutes later with a brilliant solo effort. The 24-year-old breezed past Timothy Castagne on the left before drilling through Bernd Leno's legs from a tight angle to bring the Cherries back into the contest.

Substitute Justin Kluivert then put Bournemouth in front six minutes later with a thunderous strike into the top corner – his first goal of the season – before Semenyo capped off a memorable evening in stoppage time.

The Ghanaian latched onto a Ben Gannon-Doak counter-attack and finished clinically to notch his second of the match and sixth league goal of the campaign.

"He is incredible, he shows it every game now," Kluivert told Sky Sports, as quoted by The Independent.

"He is just world-class. We are glad to have him. He scores goals for us and we appreciate that. He's doing an amazing job."

Iraola was equally impressed with his attacking duo, saying: "Antoine and Justin made the difference. The first two goals were amazing."

The win extended Bournemouth's unbeaten run to six league matches and lifted them to within a point of leaders Liverpool ahead of the weekend's fixtures.
