Bournemouth and Ghana international winger Antoine Semenyo believes they deserved to beat Chelsea in their 2-2 Premier League draw at the Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.


After Cole Palmer had put the home side ahead, Bournemouth put up a spirited second-half fightback that saw Justin Kluivert and Semenyo net to turn the game around. However, they failed to hold onto their lead as Reece James scored in the 95th minute to give the hosts a share of the spoils.


“We defended for our lives at times and I feel that we should have got three points,” said the Black Stars player as quoted by Bournemouth website. “At half-time, the manager wasn’t happy! He livened us up, we needed to get our press right and we did that from the get go in the second-half. That resilience and determination is how we’ve got our points this season.


“We all work for each other and that’s what we’re about, we’re resilient. I think we should have got something from the home game against Chelsea and we could’ve got three points here, but we take the point and move onto the next one.”


Semenyo’s goal was superbly taken, and asked what he was thinking to score such a great goal, he responded: “Ryan Christie got the ball and I know from where I was positioned what I wanted to do.


“As soon as I got the ball I knew how I wanted to shift and strike and I’m really happy with the finish. Obviously a goal in the Premier League is nice but I’m a bit frustrated we couldn’t take three points from it.”


Semenyo has now featured in 20 league matches, scored six goals and provided two assists.
