Bournemouth 2-0 Leicester: Antoine Semenyo scores twice in Premier League win

In what could turn out to be Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game in charge of Leicester, this was a meek performance.

They did not manage to muster any efforts on target and registered just three shots. Bournemouth kept Jakub Stolarczyk busy with 19 shots, seven hitting the target.

It was a clear display of Bournemouth’s superiority as Evanilson continually caused problems up top and the hosts’ entire front line regularly worked Leicester’s defence.

The Foxes managed to hold on until Semenyo finally broke the deadlock, but the goal had always seemed to be coming.

Apart from the earlier VAR intervention, only a stunning fingertip save from Stolarczyk shortly after the restart, when he denied Marcus Tavernier what would have been a superb goal, kept Leicester on level terms.

Bournemouth were confident on the ball throughout and created the better chances; they only ever looked like finishing as victors.

Leicester’s only other major chance came in the second chance when they counter-attacked after Bournemouth gave the ball away, but the hosts rapidly tracked back and Jordan Ayew eventually scuffed his effort at the back post.

Late chants of “Leicester ’till I die” from the visiting supporters rounded off the season before they return to the second tier after a campaign in which they finished 18th, 15 points adrift of safety. They were relegated last month.

The Cherries end the season on 56 points – their biggest total in a top-flight campaign.
