Premier League drama at the Vitality Stadium was epic. Bournemouth snatched a 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur with the final kick of the game on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.

The night belonged to Antoine Semenyo, who signed off to Manchester City with a £65 million move set to be finalised tomorrow. Semenyo struck a 95th-minute winner to end Bournemouth’s 11-game winless run.

Spurs got the early lead as Mathys Tel silenced the home crowd early, firing home a deflected effort to give Spurs the perfect start.  Sooner than expected, Evanilson rose highest to meet Marcus Tavernier’s cross, nodding past Guglielmo Vicario to get the equaliser for his team.

Eli Junior Kroupi gave Bournemouth the lead 2-1 before the break. In the 78th minute, João Palhinha brought Spurs level with a sensational overhead bicycle kick that looked to have rescued a point for the visitors.

The peak of the night came in the stoppage time as Antoine Semenyo unleashed a long-range rocket that flew into the bottom corner, sparking wild celebrations.

The match served as a perfect goodbye for the Ghanaian international, as he is expected to travel to Manchester City on Thursday morning for his medicals. After his winning goal, Andoni Iraola substituted Semenyo to allow him a standing ovation from the Bournemouth fans.

The loss puts immense pressure on Spurs manager Thomas Frank. Despite significant investment, Tottenham have managed only two wins in their last 12 league matches, leaving them languishing in 14th place.
