Bournemouth finished winning six games with a 1-0 victory over Fulham, while the goal of Antoine Semenyo reigned hopes for European qualification within the initial minute.
Semenyo took advantage of Antonee Robinson’s mistake to make a low end to the lower corner after only 53 seconds at Vitality Stadium.
It has been proven that this is a difference between the two sides of the European burglary while the Bournemouth skipped Fulham on the eighth goal-difference, with the first eight probably enough to qualify for Europe unless Crystal Palace wins the FA Cup.
After the victory, the winner of the match Semenyo revealed that the head of the cherry Andoni had charged the game as a “make-or break” for his season.
Said the 25-year-old Sky Sports: “Victory was definitely vital for us. The manager said all week that it was a game for us to make or break.
“We went into the game, wanting to do our best, and in the end you could see at the celebrations that it means a lot. It’s been hard for a few weeks, but it’s good to be on the board.”
Bournemouth’s Lightning-Quick began almost awarded them with two goals while Evalilson hit the bar from the immediate minute in the 17th minute. It was 21 times that the South Coast hit the Premier League woodcut this season, more than any other side.
But Fulham missed two famous chances to equalize before halftime. First, Rodrigo Muniz withdrew the shot in the 31st minute after the defensive mixing between the center of Bournemouth Dean Huisen and Marcos Senesi, who first started the league match.
Just six minutes later, unmarked Ryan Sessnon went straight for the Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa Arizabalaga.
Marco Silva continued to push the equalizer in the second half, and the frustration of coach Fulham rose after a confusion about a triple replacement that made Sessnon with his mistake.
Silva confirmed Sky Sports After a match he wanted to take off his left -back Robinson, accusing “lack of communication” between the fourth official and his staff for Sessnon, he went wrong for Adam Trara.
The cherries were then invented by Fulham’s pressure to keep their first victory in nine games in all competitions, catapulting them back to the European claim and the levels of their highest league points with 48 points.

Semenyo gives Bournemouth leadership
“Finish with a clean leave is so valuable because normally offensive when we create a chance to score goals, defensively where we missed something in the recent games, and today we were very good at defense.
“This victory comes at the perfect moment. Next week we have another of these games against Crystal Palace away, just like Fulham, play very well, so let’s recover well, recover some of the players we have and get in a good place.
“Each result will be crucial. The data has been close in the last few months.
“I don’t think we have a varnish schedule so we have to be really good.”
Silva: The first 25 minutes cost us
Fulham Main coach Marco Silva speaking Sky Sports::
“In the first minute, we acknowledged a really messy goal, but we had 95 minutes more to play and change things.
“We knew that in the first minutes it was important to make simple and correct decisions, simple decisions. The first 25 minutes showed that we were not at a level. You must achieve the same intensity as the other side.
“The reaction after that was good and we had a chance to equalize. The second half we controlled the game and pushed them back. Kep took a while to go down at least three times, all these things, to break the momentum.
“We threw everything with the first 25 minutes.”
