Semenyo Shines as Bournemouth Crush Nottingham Forest 5-0

Bournemouth delivered a dominant performance on Saturday, January 26, 2025, securing a 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium.

The win extended their unbeaten Premier League streak to an impressive 11 games, with key contributions from several players, including Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo.

Semenyo, who has been in great form this season, netted his seventh Premier League goal in stoppage time, adding to his growing tally.

His strike came at the end of a thrilling match, which saw his teammates also shine. Justin Kluivert, who was Bournemouth’s hat-trick hero in their recent win over Newcastle, opened the scoring with a powerful shot from distance in the ninth minute.

But it was Dango Ouattara who stole the spotlight, scoring a remarkable hat-trick—his first in the Premier League.

Ouattara’s performance also made history as he became the first player from Burkina Faso to score a Premier League hat-trick, a significant achievement for both the player and his country.

Semenyo’s involvement in the game brought his tally to 10 goal contributions for the season, making him only the second Ghanaian player in history, after Tony Yeboah, to reach double-digit goal involvements in their first two Premier League campaigns.

His consistent performances have made him a key figure for Andoni Iraola’s side.

With this comprehensive win, Bournemouth will look ahead to a challenging match next Saturday when they host league leaders Liverpool.

But for now, the Cherries will bask in the glory of an impressive victory that underlines their growing strength in the Premier League
