Antoine Semenyo scored twice as Bournemouth came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 in stormy conditions and move up to second in the Premier League table.

Ryan Sessegnon had given Fulham the lead when he ran onto a through ball from Samuel Chukwueze before clipping the ball over Cherries keeper Djordje Petrovic.

But Bournemouth levelled when Semenyo got the ball on the left wing, beat several players and stopped the ball going over the byeline before slotting a shot through Bernd Leno's legs from a tight angle.

Then substitute Justin Kluivert got the ball in the centre circle, charged forward and unleashed an unstoppable strike from 25 yards to put Bournemouth ahead.

As Fulham pushed forward for an equaliser in stoppage time, Semenyo capped a superb individual night with his second goal - to go with an assist - after finishing off an emphatic counter-attack.

Until the 70th minute, the game looked as if it was going to end in an instantly forgettable goalless draw as both sides struggled to create much in the wind and rain of Storm Amy.

Bournemouth are now second in the Premier League table, just one point below Liverpool - although everyone else has yet to play this weekend.
