Bournemouth forward Justin Kluivert has hailed teammate Antoine Semenyo as “world class” following the Ghanaian’s breathtaking display in the Cherries’ 3-1 comeback win over Fulham on Friday night.
Semenyo produced yet another stellar performance, scoring twice and providing an assist as Bournemouth climbed to second in the Premier League table, just a point behind leaders Liverpool.
The 25-year-old’s influence has been central to Bournemouth’s early-season surge, proving invaluable after a summer in which the club lost several senior players.
“He is incredible,” Kluivert said after the match. “He shows it every game now. He is just world class.”
Semenyo’s first goal was a moment of brilliance as he glided past Fulham defenders on the left flank before slotting home through Bernd Leno’s legs.
Moments later, he turned provider, setting up Kluivert to give Bournemouth the lead. The Ghanaian then capped his night with a composed left-footed strike deep into stoppage time.
The in-form winger now has six league goals this season — second only to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland — and has been directly involved in 12 Premier League goals since May, more than any other player.
Signed from Bristol City in 2023, Semenyo’s rapid rise has made him one of the most complete attacking threats in the English top flight.
