Antoine Semenyo scores as Bournemouth thrashes Manchester United at Old Trafford

Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo was on target as Bournemouth defeated Manchester United 3-0 in the English Premier League on Sunday afternoon. 

Chasing back-to-back league wins at Old Trafford, Bournemouth took a 1-0 lead into half-time. Huijsen's well-placed header separated the two sides in what was a closely contested first half. 

Manchester United’s defensive frailties were exposed again in the second half. A dangerous free kick from Christie caused chaos in the United box, with the Cherries capitalising to extend their advantage. 

The lead doubled in the 61st minute when Kluivert coolly converted a penalty. United goalkeeper Onana dove the wrong way as Kluivert fired the ball into the top-left corner, making it 2-0 for the visitors. 

The icing on the cake came when Semenyo, who had been instrumental in the build-up, finished clinically. Ouattara cut the ball back from the left byline, and Semenyo drilled a low shot past Onana from 10 yards to seal Bournemouth’s emphatic victory. 

The loss marked back-to-back defeats for Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, following their recent exit from the EFL Cup at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. 

Semenyo's stats for Bournemouth this season

The prolific Ghanaian striker has been in fine form, featuring in 15 matches for Bournemouth this season, with 5 goals and 1 assist to his name, and will be seeking to continue scoring in their subsequent games. Bournemouth's 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford today in the Premier League is a repetition of last year's December 3-0 win by the Cherries over the Red Devils.
