Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo continued his blistering performance in the English Premier League by setting up the only goal to secure AFC Bournemouth's first victory of this season's campaign against Wolves on Saturday afternoon.
Semenyo, who scored twice last week at Anfield in the Cherries' 4-2 defeat to Liverpool, delivered another standout display at the Vitality Stadium by assisting Marcus Tavernier's early strike to hand them the three maximum points.
A deflected Marcus Tavernier strike was enough to earn Bournemouth their first Premier League win of the season and condemn 10-man Wolves to a second straight defeat.
Both teams were hoping to bounce back from opening-day losses, but, other than an early Marshall Munetsi chance, the Cherries were far more composed, organised and dangerous in the opening stages and deservedly took an early lead.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's poor pass on the edge of Wolves' area allowed Antoine Semenyo to pick out Tavernier, whose low shot took a wicked deflection off Emmanuel Agbadou before ending up in the net via the underside of the crossbar.
Semenyo rattled the bar from David Brooks' cross as Bournemouth sought to press home their advantage, while at the other end Djordje Petrovic was forced into a smart one-handed save from Jorgen Strand Larsen's shot.
But the visitors' hopes of clawing their way back into the contest suffered a major blow when Toti Gomes was shown a straight red card for bringing down Cherries striker Evanilson as last man, leaving his team a man light for the majority of the second half.
The Ghana international enjoyed the entire duration of the fixture with an incredible output, aiding his side to record their first win of the 2024-25 season's campaign.
Semenyo has now scored two goals and provided an assist in two Premier League game outings for AFC Bournemouth so far this season.
