Bournemouth brought an end to their six-match winless streak in the Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fulham at the Vitality Stadium, a result that breathed new life into their aspirations of qualifying for European competition.
The decisive moment came less than a minute into the contest, as Antoine Semenyo took full advantage of a costly error by Antonee Robinson. The Bournemouth forward pounced on the loose ball and drove a clinical low shot into the bottom corner after just 53 seconds, giving the hosts a dream start.
That early strike ultimately proved to be the winner in a tightly contested clash between two sides aiming for a top-eight finish. With the victory, Bournemouth climbed above Fulham into eighth place on goal difference—a potentially crucial position, with European spots likely extending to eighth unless Crystal Palace secure the FA Cup.
