That’s my staple now -Antoine Semenyo on unique penalty routine

Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has shed more light on his unique penalty attempt he converted in an Emirates FA Cup tie against Everton.

Semenyo scored in AFC Bournemouth’s 2-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park with Semenyo’s goal being the first; the game marked the final FA Cup tie at Goodison Park as Everton are scheduled to move to its new stadium at the end of the 2024-2025 season.

Black Stars player Antoine Semenyo had his back turned to Everton goal keeper Jordan Pickford before turning and making a quick run up to fire the ball past Pickford emphatically.

Speaking in an interview with Bleacher Report, Semenyo indicated that his run up to the penalty attempt would be seen frequently moving forward.

 

“The ball is really light as well, so like, if you hit it well, keeper isn’t getting there. Even if he guesses the right direction, he isn’t getting there. That’s my staple now. It catches keeper’s off guard so why not?” Semenyo said.

 

Semenyo has seven goals and five assists in 29 appearances in all competitions this season in the lead up to Bournemouth’s FA Cup fifth round tie against Wolves.
