Bournemouth defeated fulham 1-0
Bournemouth defeated Fulham 1-0, with Semenyo scoring the only goal of the match less than a minute after kickoff.
A much-needed victory
This victory marks Bournemouth's first win after a six-match winless streak, bringing their points total to 48 and elevating them to eighth place, ahead of Fulham on goal difference.
Semenyo's quick strike
Semenyo needed just 55 seconds to open the scoring for Bournemouth, skillfully maneuvering past two Fulham players before firing a low shot with his left foot from the edge of the box that found the bottom corner of the net, beating German goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
First half dominance
Bournemouth was the stronger side in the first half but failed to build on their strong start.
Fulham's second half push
In contrast, Fulham showed a different face in the second half, pushing hard in the final quarter. Their Portuguese coach Marco Silva introduced Mexican striker Raul Jimenez, Brazilian winger Willian, and midfielder Emile Smith Rowe to change the outcome, but to no avail.
