Antoine Semenyo opened his Premier League campaign with a brace against defending champions Liverpool on Friday night at Anfield, though Bournemouth fell to a 4-2 defeat.<\/p>\n

The match was briefly halted around the half-hour mark after the Ghana forward reportedly suffered racial abuse. <\/p>\n

The incident occurred as the 25-year-old prepared to take a throw-in. He reported it to referee Anthony Taylor, who then spoke with both coaches and captains before play resumed.<\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports, a fan was ejected from the stadium for alleged involvement in the incident.<\/p>\n

Liverpool took the lead in the 37th minute when Hugo Ekitike, with a stroke of fortune, scored his first Premier League goal. <\/p>\n

Four minutes after the break, Ekitike set up Cody Gakpo to double the hosts\u2019 advantage.<\/p>\n

Semenyo sparked a Bournemouth comeback in the 64th minute, converting from a David Brooks assist. He then drew the visitors level 12 minutes later with a stunning solo effort, carrying the ball from his own half before firing past Alisson.<\/p>\n

However, Liverpool regained control late on. Substitute Federico Chiesa struck from the centre of the box in the 88th minute, and Mohamed Salah sealed the win with a goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
