Football can often deliver fairytale moments - and at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday it served one up as Antoine Semenyo brought the curtain down on his Bournemouth career in perfect fashion. "If that is to be his last involvement for Bournemouth there is no better way for it to go," Semenyo's Bournemouth team-mate Marcus Tavernier told Sky Sports. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola effectively confirmed Semenyo's departure after the game, but praised his commitment and attitude right up until his final moment in a Cherries shirt. "Sometimes football gives you these things. I think it is good football gives him back this moment."
