Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo continued his impressive run of form, scoring as AFC Bournemouth pulled off a stunning FA Cup upset, defeating a misfiring Manchester City side that had earlier cruised past Liverpool.

In a dramatic weekend of cup football, Manchester City’s 3-0 victory over Liverpool was quickly overshadowed by their subsequent collapse against Bournemouth. Erling Haaland’s first‑half hat‑trick had dismantled Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah compounding the Reds’ misery by missing a penalty.

However, facing Bournemouth in the next round, City’s defense unraveled. Semenyo capitalized on a defensive error to slot home the decisive goal in the second half, sealing a famous victory for the Cherries and sending the defending champions crashing out.

The result marks a career milestone for Semenyo, who continues to enhance his reputation as a big‑game performer. For Liverpool, the loss to City was a sobering reminder of the gap they must close, while Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola faces tough questions after a shocking exit.
