"He Was Very Good": Bournemouth Manager Lavish Praises on Semenyo After Netting First Goal

• Ghana striker Antoine Semenyo has netted his first goal of the season
• The Black Stars striker scored against Liverpool at Anfield
• AFC Bournemouth lost to Liverpool in the second game of the season

Bournemouth manager, Andoni Iraola, is full of praise for Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo following his performance against Liverpool on Saturday.

The Black Stars striker scored the opening goal as the Cherries suffered a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

Semenyo was making a return from an injury that kept him out of the latter stages of last season, and Ghana's AFCON qualifier against Madagascar.

Despite the loss, Iraola singled out the hardworking striker for his display against the English giants and hopes Semenyo will keep scoring as the season progresses.

"Antoine was good last week. I think the minutes he played, he gave good energy to the team. Today also, he pushed a lot, he finished very tired and that is what we expect from our wingers and our forwards, to give everything they can," he said in the post-match presser.

His return to action is good news for the Black Stars ahead of the AFCON qualifier against the Central African Republic in September.
