BOURNEMOUTH, England (Reuters) – Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo scored one first-half goal and played a big part in creating another to set his side on their way to a convincing 3-1 win over struggling Southampton in the Premier League on Monday.
Brazilian striker Evanilson got things under way with a deft finish from a quick free kick in the 17th minute and 15 minutes later Semenyo’s surging run off the right wing set up a Lewis Cook drive that deflected off teammate Dango Ouattara and into the net, with the latter being credited with the goal.
Ghana forward Semenyo got the goal his industry deserved in the 39th, again cutting in from the right but this time rattling a right-foot shot in at the foot of the far post.
Saints defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis stooped to head home his first Premier League goal in the 51st but it was not enough as his side slumped to their fifth defeat in six league games to stay 19th on one point, with Bournemouth up to 11th on eight.
