Ghana national team and Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo said it will require a collective effort to ensure his club’s goal scoring improves in subsequent matches.
The AFC Bournemouth forward helped his side earn a hard-fought victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English FA Cup on Saturday. The Black Stars forward started the Round of 16 clash of the domestic cup competition and played the entire 90 minutes as well as some part of extra time.
Bournemouth opened their lead first through Evanilson before Wolves rallied from behind to force the match to a 1-1 draw. The Cherries went on to secure victory at the end of a penalty shootout to advance to the quarterfinals.
Speaking in a post-match interview, the Ghana forward stressed that his team must work on goal scoring to put games to bed earlier.
"It was end-to-end stuff. I feel like everyone's legs started to go after 90 minutes. It went to pens and luckily we won - grateful. I feel like we could have done it in 90 minutes but the most important thing is we got the win and we're into the next round."
"I think as a group we need to be a bit more clinical and maybe in the table we'd be higher. I think now we have got the win and we will see who we get tomorrow,” Semenyo said.
The Ghana forward was named Man of the Match after the FA Cup victory by Bournemouth against Everton in early February's Round of 32 clash.
