Antoine Semenyo’s only goal was all AFC Bournemouth needed to overcome Fulham in a Premier League game staged on Monday night.
Semenyo fired Bournemouth into a very early lead after just 53 seconds as the attacker beat Joachim Andersen and curled into the bottom corner.

Evanilson almost doubled the Cherries’ advantage when he reacted to Alex Scott’s knockdown and shot against the crossbar. Ryan Sessegnon nearly got Fulham back on level terms before half time with a powerful header that Kepa Arrizabalaga kept out.
Fulham went on the attack after the break and Alex Iwobi’s early snapshot from the edge of the box forced Kepa into a full-stretch save.
The Cottagers continued to probe for an equaliser and Saša Lukić was next to test Kepa with a powerful 20-yard effort. Bournemouth looked dangerous in the closing stages and Evanilson drew a foul from Bernd Leno inside the area, but the hosts’ appeals for a penalty were dismissed following a quick VAR check.
The Cherries closed out the victory to end their six-match winless run in the Premier League, while Fulham suffered a third consecutive away loss.
