Semenyo Brace Seals Bournemouth Win Over Relegated Leicester – GhArticles.com
Bournemouth dominated the match at home and finally broke the deadlock in the 75th minute when Semenyo tapped in from close range after Illia Zabarnyi nodded a corner into his path.
The Ghanaian forward doubled the lead shortly after, unleashing a sharp strike from the edge of the area into the near post to secure a deserved win for the Cherries.
Despite their strong showing, Andoni Iraola’s side missed out on European qualification following a dip in form earlier in the season.
Leicester’s miserable campaign ended with yet another game without a clean sheet as they prepare for life in the Championship.
Earlier in the game, Leicester had a goal disallowed for offside after Oliver Skipp converted a Kasey McAteer cross. VAR also denied Bournemouth a goal when Semenyo’s cross went out of play before Daniel Jebbison’s finish.
VAR was again involved when Leicester defender Conor Coady escaped a red card for tripping Evanilson near the box.
In the end, Semenyo’s late heroics ensured Bournemouth ended their season on a high, while Leicester’s woes continued.
