Antoine Semenyo secured the only goal as Bournemouth conquered Wolves at Molineux, catapulting themselves into the Premier League's upper half despite being reduced to 10 men following Milos Kerkez's dismissal.


Semenyo, back in the starting lineup, broke the deadlock by calmly slotting the ball home from close range after Wolves failed to clear their lines, taking his season tally to eight goals.


Bournemouth's proactive approach from the outset paid off as they crafted numerous opportunities throughout the game.

Dominic Solanke, Alex Scott, Kerkez, and Justin Kluivert all tested Wolves' goalkeeper Jose Sa, who put in a commendable performance under constant pressure.


Despite their wastefulness in front of goal, Bournemouth seemed poised to escape punishment for it when Hwang Hee-chan seemed to equalize in the second half.


However, the goal was disallowed after VAR intervention revealed a foul in the build-up involving Matheus Cunha and Kluivert.


Following this incident, the game resumed its original flow, with Bournemouth persistently probing but failing to find success in the final third.


Their challenge became even tougher when Kerkez received a straight red card for a challenge on Matt Doherty, leaving them with 10 men for the final 10 minutes of regulation time.


Despite the numerical disadvantage, Andoni Iraola's side held firm during the closing stages, including 12 minutes of stoppage time, clinching a victory that propels them to 10th place in the league table. They now trail eighth-placed West Ham by two points, while Wolves slide to 12th position.
