“He was the player of the weekend by far”- Watford legend Troy Deeney lauds Antoine Semenyo
Former Watford and England forward Troy Deeney has extoled the qualities of Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo after a dominant display against Manchester City in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old Black Stars forward scored as the Cherries ended the champions’ 32-game unbeaten run with a 2-1 victory at the Vitality Park.
Semenyo, who is having an outstanding campaign, netted his fourth goal of the season after brilliantly finishing off a Milos Kerkez cross.
Deeney, the BBC’s Team of the Week expert, easily named Semenyo the Player of the Week.
“The player of the weekend by far. He dominated Kyle Walker. I’ll put it down to this – Walker played a 6/10 and Semenyo was 9.5/10,” he said.
“I don’t think Semenyo will have a better game – everything he touched landed at his feet. He got himself a goal. He bodied Walker at one stage, put him on the ground.
“We’ve all had those games – if you’re Kyle you think “stay away from me”. I have been critical of Semenyo and didn’t think he would step up from Bristol City to the level he has done now. He looks like he could be in the Premier League for a very long time.”
