Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has shared his excitement after scoring his debut Premier League goal for Bournemouth in their heavy win over Leeds United.

The Black Stars forward was a second half substitute in their 4-1 home win over Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.

Semenyo was introduced in the 83rd minute mark, replacing Kieffer Moore who picked up an injury during game and made his presence felt after finding the back of the net in the dyeing embers of the game.

It was his first goal for Bournemouth in the Premier League after securing a move to the club from Bristol City in the January transfer window.

"It feels surreal right now. It hasn't sunk in yet but you know I am happy the ball went it. Just hit it as hard as I can so I am happy," he said after the game.

"We've been planning for weeks for celebrations and being on the pitch together, that was even better," he added.

Colombian international Jefferson Lerma scored a brace in a space of four minutes to put Bournemouth in the lead.

Jefferson Lerma got the opening goal of the match in the 20th minute before doubling the lead for the host in the 24th minute mark.

The visitors pulled one back through Patrick Bamford who connected from Wilfried Gnonto pass in the 32th minute as the first half ended 2-1 in Bournemouth favour.

After the break, the home team proved their worth and found the back of the net twice through Dominic Solanke and the Ghana international, who scored in the 63rd and additional minute of the game to secure a comfortable win.
