Former England international Jamie Redknapp has praised Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo for his exceptional versatility following his match-winning display in Bournemouth’s 3-1 victory over Fulham on Friday night.
Semenyo was the star of the show, scoring twice and assisting another as the Cherries came from behind to secure a vital win that lifted them to second in the Premier League, just a point behind Liverpool.
The 25-year-old’s ability to score with both feet impressed Redknapp, who described him as a “rare and incredibly unique talent.”
“It was a hard night to play football, but it didn’t matter to Semenyo,” Redknapp said on Sky Sports. “He just glides across that surface. An incredible, unique talent. Doesn’t matter if it’s right foot or left foot — makes no difference for him.”
Semenyo demonstrated that ambidexterity in style, netting his first goal with his right foot after a solo run down the left flank, before adding his second with his left late in the game on a counterattack.
He also provided an assist for Justin Kluivert’s goal, capping a complete attacking performance.
Now with six goals this season, Semenyo continues to underline his importance for Bournemouth and remains one of the Premier League’s most versatile forwards.
