'Unreal' - The best Premier League comeback win in 20 years. |
 |
| The BBC reported that on a night when all eyes were on the Champions League, the Premier League witnessed its biggest comeback win in more than 20 years. Amazingly Bournemouth won 4-3, after being three goals down at half time. As ever Dominic Solanke could be relied on and scored five minutes after half-time, and after Illia Zabarnyi bundled in a header for 2-3, Antoine Semenyo completed the comeback with a pair of powerful finishes - the second with only six minutes remaining. Semenyo told BBC Match of the Day. "It's unreal" "It is an achievement of mine just playing in the Premier League so to get a winning goal for the team, I'm buzzing." Bournemouth has become the fifth team in Premier League history to win a match in which they trailed by three goals, and just the third to do so in a game where they were 3-0 down at half-time. The others to achieve this feat were Manchester United in beating Spurs 5-3 in September 2001 and Wolves against Leicester in October 2003. According to Semenyo, there was no half-time tirade from Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola at half-time. In fact he seemed to say very little to his team, as the Cherries were out for the second half early - so early in fact that it caught the forward off guard. "I was on the bike actually when everyone was running out so I had to scurry out quickly. It was because we were ready to go and put a performance on for the fans and for ourselves." Semenyo said Iraola "is very calm and collected". "He just came in and said, 'Look we are going to have to go for it, go man for man and show some personality', and we did that," he added. -/- |
