Reece James late free kick cancels out Semenyo stunner

Ghaian forward Antoine Semenyo netted his sixth goal of the season for Bournemouth in their 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Semenyo continued his impressive form, scoring in his second consecutive game to give Bournemouth the lead after Justin Kluivert had cancelled out Cole Palmer's brilliant opener.

However, Reece James' stunning free-kick in stoppage time earned the Blues a late point.

In the 67th minute, Semenyo rounded 18-year-old defender Josh Acheampong and unleashed a powerful near-post shot past keeper Robert Sánchez, sending the Stamford Bridge faithful into stunned silence.

Just as it seemed the Cherries would claim all three points, James stepped up to deliver a great free-kick , securing a disappointing draw for Chelsea.

The Ghanaian attacker has now scored seven Premier League goals this season, with a total of eight goals in all competitions.

Semenyo's form has been a bright spot for Bournemouth, and Andoni Iraola will be relying on him to lead the line, especially with injuries to strikers Evanilson and Enes Unal.
