Ghana international Antoine Semenyo says his outfit AFC Bournemouth will not be carried away following their impressive start to the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
The Cherries has been outstanding since the commencement of the league season, winning three games, drawing two and losing one after six matches. With 11 points, Bournemouth find themselves in the 6th position on the standings.
Semenyo delivered another top-class performance for the Cherries in their comeback stalemate against Leeds United on Saturday at the Elland Road.
The Black Stars attacker registered his name on the scoresheet as his outfit held Leeds United to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League clash.
However, the former Bristol City attacker has hailed the character of Bournemouth, while cautioning against complacency.
“It was scrappy towards the end to be honest. We wanted to keep getting the ball into the box to cause them problems and it was tough today. We never gave up though.
“The boys have got the character as they’ve proven so far this season, the desire to make things happen and keep going.
“We knew there were spaces in transitions and wanted to exploit that, they had momentum and it was tough, but we have been resilient again.
“It’s a long-old season, we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves just yet. But we take a point and move onto Friday.”
Semenyo opened the scoring in the 26th minute, rifling a powerful free-kick through the Leeds wall to beat Karl Darlow. It was his fourth goal in six league matches this season, adding to his two assists, underlining his growing influence under manager Andoni Iraola.
Leeds responded before half-time when Joe Rodon headed in from a Sean Longstaff corner. Longstaff then put the hosts ahead with a superb half-volley in the 54th minute.
Bournemouth, however, showed resilience and were rewarded deep into stoppage time. Marcos Senesi flicked on a free-kick, and Eli Junior Kroupi smashed home the equaliser to earn the Cherries a point.
Semenyo has become a fan favourite at the Vitality Stadium, contributing six goals across competitions for the club this season.
