Bournemouth surged to second place in the Premier League after a stunning 3-1 comeback victory over Fulham. Late goals from Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert sealed the win, extending the Cherries' impressive head-to-head league record to just two defeats in 17 meetings (W9, D6).


The hosts started strongly, pressing with intensity in the final third despite the challenging weather conditions. Tyler Adams had a promising chance, unleashing a powerful low strike that Bernd Leno expertly parried around the post. Bournemouth's early dominance set the tone for an exciting match.



Fulham, determined to bounce back from a poor away record that saw them lose six of their last nine Premier League trips, gradually took control of the game as the first half progressed. Despite their dominance, neither team managed to create a plethora of clear-cut chances.


Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side pushed hard for a breakthrough at the start of the second half, but Fulham's goalkeeper Bernd Leno stood firm, denying Evanilson's close-range effort. The visitors responded strongly, with Harry Wilson's strike across goal being expertly blocked by Đorđe Petrovic.


Fulham's relentless attacking approach paid off in the 70th minute. Samuel Chukwueze's precise pass released Ryan Sessegnon, who calmly scored over the goalkeeper to give Fulham the lead.


The equalizing goal sparked Bournemouth into life, and they quickly found a leveller when Antoine Semenyo beat Timothy Castagne to the byline and scored with a powerful angled finish past Bernd Leno.




Just three minutes later, Bournemouth completed the turnaround, with substitute Justin Kluivert striking a spectacular 25-yard shot into the top corner, sending the home fans into raptures.


The visitors tried to regroup in the closing stages, but Bournemouth sealed the win with a third goal in stoppage time. Semenyo scored with a clinical finish on the counter-attack, capping off a memorable night for the Cherries.
