Semenyo burst between Sander Berge and Castagne and whipped in a shot which Lerno did well to block on his line.Brazilian Evanilson moved in on the loose ball but was pulled up for a foul on Calvin Bassey.Bournemouth rediscovered their attacking intent straight after the break and Alex Scott had a goal-bound shot blocked by Joachim Andersen.Then David Brooks’ in-swinging 52nd minute corner was swirling under the bar before Leno acrobatically punched it clear.Shutterstock EditorialRyan Sessgnon scored the opening goal[/caption]Ryan Sessegnon gives Fulham the lead at the Vitality Stadium! pic.twitter.com/cE6tx0V4ME— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) October 3, 2025Within a minute Leno came to Fulham’s rescue again when he kept out Evanilson’s crisp shot on the turn.And, yet, Fulham’s first real chance of the match just before the hour nearly led to the Londoners taking the lead.Former Cherry Harry Wilson thumped in a fierce cross-shot which forced home goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic to dive full-length to his left to push clear.But Fulham took the lead on 70 minutes when sub Samual Chukwueze slipped a fabulous pass through to Ryan Sessegnon to dink the ball over Petrovic.ReutersBournemouth have moved up to second in the Prem[/caption]ANOTHER ONE! What a season Antoine Semenyo is having pic.twitter.com/1SrHWpVPkl— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) October 3, 2025That looked enough to give Fulham head coach Marcos Silva his first win in six games at the Vitality Stadium.But Semenyo had other ideas and on 78 minutes, raced past Castagne and beat Leno at his near post by shooting through his legs.Dutchman Kluivert brought the house down six minute from time when he ran 20 yards before finding the top corner with a wonder shot.Yet Semenyo had his Spanish coach Andoni Iraola singing in the rain in stoppage time when he blasted home sub Ben Gannon-Doak’s cross.
