Ghanaian striker Antoine Semenyo opened his goal-scoring tally for the new season by securing a late equalizer for AFC Bournemouth in their match against Nottingham Forest.
The Black Stars forward, who was in the starting lineup for the Cherries, found the back of the net with just four minutes left on the clock, nullifying the early lead set by the home team.
Nottingham Forest initially took the lead in the 23rd minute through Chris Wood, and although Bournemouth thought they had equalized when Dango Ouattara scored just after the half-hour mark, the goal was disallowed following a VAR review.
Despite this setback, Bournemouth kept up the pressure and were rewarded for their efforts in the closing stages when Semenyo scored from close range to secure a well-earned draw.
Semenyo is expected to step up and fill the gap left by Dominic Solanke, who transferred to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, even though Evanilson has also joined the squad from FC Porto.
Last season, Semenyo scored eight goals in the English Premier League.
