Semenyo and Kluivert pierce the storm as Bournemouth roar back to sink Fulham and climb to second place.

Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert supplied the moments of rare clarity on a sodden night as Bournemouth overturned Fulham 3-1, surging to second in the Premier League. Ryan Sessegnon’s smart finish had promised a different ending, but Semenyo’s outrageous equaliser from the tightest of angles and Kluivert’s long-range thunderbolt flipped the contest before Semenyo raced away in stoppage time to seal it.

This was a game shaped by Storm Amy’s gusts and rain, which muted ambition and turned the first hour into a scrap of field position and nerve. For long stretches it felt destined for stalemate; then, in a handful of devastating minutes, Bournemouth found an opening and left Fulham ruing a night of small margins.
