Semenyo double ensures strong finish for Bournemouth
BOURNEMOUTH, England, May 25 (Reuters) - Bournemouth secured ninth place in the Premier League, matching their previous best campaign, as Antoine Semenyo grabbed a double for a 2-0 home win over already relegated Leicester City on Sunday. But Bournemouth fell short of a place in European club competition as they recorded only a third win in their last 13 league games to match their ninth-place finish in 2017. Semenyo finished from close range after a short corner in the 74th minute was headed into a busy small box by Illia Zabarnyi. He followed that up with the second two minutes from time with a drive from outside the penalty area.

Smith deflated despite landmark - how do you sum up his contribution?
Bournemouth captain Adam Smith's 400th appearance for the club ended on a bitter note as they lost 1-0 to Aston Villa. The defender stated that he didn't really care about the milestone as much as he would have liked to win against Villa. "Maybe it's something I will look back on as an achievement once I've retired but now, just so disappointed with the game really," Smith said to BBC Radio Solent. "Obviously, it's nice for my career that I've done that but I'd rather win today, to be honest. Kind of spoilt my weekend. "I am just taking game by game and hopefully we can finish the season strong and I can enjoy my summer and celebrate with my family." Tell us how you would sum up Smith's 400 games with Bournemouth

Bournemouth's Scott to undergo surgery after breaking jaw during Villa loss
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott will undergo surgery after suffering a fractured jaw during Saturday's 1-0 Premier League loss to Aston Villa, his club said on Sunday. Scott, 21, was injured seven minutes into the home match after contact with Villa defender Tyrone Mings but played through the rest of the half. He was unable to continue after the break. "Scans have since revealed a displaced fracture and Scott will undergo surgery to stabilise the jaw," Bournemouth said in a statement. Englishman Scott missed more than three months after sustaining a knee injury in October which required surgery. Bournemouth, 10th in the league, visit Manchester City on May 20 before wrapping up their campaign with a home game against relegated Leicester City on May 25.

Andoni Iraola claims Aston Villa star should have been sent off for 'DANGEROUS' challenge that left Alex Scott with a possible broken jaw
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has claimed that an Aston Villa star should have been sent off during an altercation that left one of his players with a possible broken jaw. The Cherries' European hopes took a major hit on Saturday evening as they lost 1-0 at home to Villa, who themselves helped their bid to finish in the Champions League qualification spots. Ollie Watkins scored the only goal of the game, while Villa's Jacob Ramsey was shown a red card for two yellow card offences late on in the game, ensuring Villa ended the match with 10 men. Some felt the visitors should have been down to 10 much earlier, though, when Tyrone Mings appeared to elbow Alex Scott in the jaw early on in the game. The incident appeared accidental, but saw Scott hit the deck and receive treatment on the field. He returned and played out the rest of the half, but was substituted at half-time because he could not continue. And Cherries boss Iraola took issue with the decision not to send Mings off, branding the incident 'dangerous' and leaping to the defence of his player. "It's not a red card for me at all." Jamie Redknapp and Lee Hendrie agree Tyrone Mings' challenge on Alex Scott shouldn't have been a red and didn't warrant a sending off 🚫 — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) May 10, 2025 Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has claimed Tyrone Mings should have been sent off for a challenge on Alex Scott 'Yeah, for me. I think if Alex plays with jaw - I don't know if it's broken or not broken,' Iraola told Sky Sports when he asked if Mings should have been shown a red card. 'He has gone down two times [leaving us] with 10 players. 'We didn't know if he would continue or not. He has finished the first half, but you could see straight away, he was not… he was not well, I think. 'It's a very dangerous challenge. Very dangerous. I think, on the other side, I think the second yellow to Ramsey, for me, is not a yellow card. But obviously, the value of a red card in the 80th minute with the value of a red card in the sixth minute is very different. But I think overall, in these small things, they've competed better than us.' Replays appeared to show Mings' elbow connecting with the jaw of Scott, leaving the midfielder floored before he was consoled by the Villa defender in the aftermatch. It was a match that saw referee Stuart Attwell issues a number of yellow cards as home fans grew frustrated, but Mings was one player who escpaed without any punishment. And rightly so, according to Jamie Redknapp. 'I don't personally think it is [a red card],' Redknapp said on Sky Sports punditry. 'I always admire what Andoni says. He understands the game really well. Sometimes it's your emotions. 'I think he just gets his arm up there. Obviously, there is a massive difference in the height with Scott and Tyrone. I think he just gets his arm out. I don't think he necessarily swings his elbow, he just puts it out. 'You have to use your arms to create a bit of leverage, to create space. I don't think that's it. If it could have been a yellow card, I just don't think it's a red card. I don't think he's malicious. I just think it's one of those actions.'

'I think they managed better'
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa: "I think the game has gone more similar to the one they wanted to play. I think in the first half it was a lot of stop and go and not a lot of rhythm. It hasn't been enough for us. Overall I think they managed better. We haven't been able to punish them."We need to manage the small things better. It is a very experienced team and probably they have competed better than us. For us the situation changes. Now we are behind some teams and we have to wait on some results and make sure we recover and finish the season well."We want to be in this fight and we have to continue. We don't know where we are going to finish but we have to keep going."On Adam Smith reaching 400 games: "We are talking about big numbers. You have to be here in the good moments, bad moments. Adam trains very well and the players who get these numbers, it is not just a coincidence."
