Chukwueze Records First Premier League Assist in Fulham’s Defeat To Bournemouth
By Sedara Philip
Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze opened his Premier League account with his first assist for Fulham, setting up Ryan Sessegnon’s opener in their 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth on Friday
Introduced as a second-half substitute in the 67th minute, Chukwueze made an immediate impact. Barely three minutes after coming on, he threaded a clever ball through the Bournemouth defence that found Sessegnon in stride.
The winger produced a cool finish over goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic to hand Fulham a 1-0 lead.
Despite the bright moment from Chukwueze, Fulham were unable to hold on. Bournemouth rallied strongly in the closing stages, with Antoine Semenyo pulling the hosts level with a fine solo effort.
Semenyo then turned provider for Justin Kluivert, who unleashed a stunning long-range strike to put Bournemouth in front.
In stoppage time, Semenyo struck again to complete his brace, sealing a 3-1 comeback victory for the Cherries.
For Chukwueze, however, the match marked an encouraging personal milestone.
The on-loan AC Milan star showcased his creativity and attacking instinct, leaving Fulham fans hopeful of more decisive contributions in the weeks ahead.
