If Bournemouth had more players like Antoine Semenyo, they would likely be competing for higher standings. Still, the Ghanaian’s performance tonight was more than enough to defeat Southampton 3-1.##NAJAVA_MECA_8380082##The match between Bournemouth and Southampton was expected to be quite interesting, given that it was England’s South Coast ‘derby’. However, all we saw in the first half was a rhapsody from Andoni Iraola’s men and agony for Russell Martin’s team. The main tormentor of Southampton’s nightmare at Vitality Stadium was simply and clearly named – Antoine Semenyo.The Ghanaian winger caused havoc, driving his markers crazy with dribbles, feints, and eventually was rewarded with a beautiful goal. To be fair, it wasn’t just about Bournemouth’s players; they were also aided by Southampton’s defense, which quite literally didn’t know what hit them. Countless lost balls in critical areas — just 20-25 meters from their own goal. Complete indifference and lack of focus for Evanilson’s opener, as well as leaving Lewis Cook completely unmarked on the edge of the box for the second goal. These are errors that are simply unacceptable at the Premier League level.If Russell Martin, Southampton’s coach, could have substituted all 11 players, he probably would have. He could only crouch in frustration, watching his team stumble from one mistake to another, with no sign of breaking free from Bournemouth’s tight grip.Southampton came out with better energy in the second half, looked improved, and managed to pull one back through Harwood-Bellis early in the half. Meanwhile, Bournemouth mostly relied on counterattacks and came close to scoring a few more times. But all things considered, when you play the first half like Southampton did, you don’t deserve anything more than defeat.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 6SaturdayNewcastle – Man.City 1-1 (0-1)/Gordon 58 pen – Gvardiol 35/Arsenal – Leicester 4-2 (2-0)/Martinelli 20, Trossard 45+2, Ndidi 90+4, Havertz 90+10 – Justin 47, 63/Brentford – West Ham 1-1 (1-0)/Mbeumo 1 – Soucek 54/Chelsea – Brighton 4-2 (4-2)/Palmer 21, 28 pen, 31, 40 – Rutter 7, Baleba 34/Everton – Crystal Palace 2-1 (0-1)/McNeil 47, 54 – Guehi 10/Nott.
