The decisive moment came in the 61st minute. Semenyo, cool under pressure, calmly rolled his penalty down the middle as goalkeeper Petrovic dived to his right. It was his third Premier League goal of the season, underlining his growing importance to the Cherries.
Brighton pushed for an equalizer late on, but Bournemouth held firm. Semenyo’s performance earned him applause from the stands as the Cherries sealed a big home win.
