Ghana striker, Antoine Semenyo rescued a point for AFC Bournemouth with a late equalizer in their 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest during Saturday afternoon’s Premier League clash at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest took the lead in the 23rd minute when striker Chris Wood found the back of the net, giving the hosts a 1-0 advantage at halftime.
Forest controlled much of the possession and appeared to be on course for a win until the 86th minute when Semenyo levelled the score.

Bournemouth’s relentless pressure paid off when a deflected ball fell to Semenyo, who made no mistake in firing it past Forest’s goalkeeper Dean Henderson from close range.
While Bournemouth had more attempts on goal, it was Forest’s dominance in possession that led to Wood’s opener.
However, Semenyo’s late heroics ensured that both teams left with a share of the points.
Bournemouth will next host Newcastle United at the Vitality Stadium, while Nottingham Forest will travel to face Southampton in their upcoming Premier League fixtures.
