BOURNEMOUTH, England : Bournemouth secured ninth place in the Premier League, matching their previous best campaign, as Antoine Semenyo grabbed a double for a 2-0 home win over already relegated Leicester City on Sunday.
But Bournemouth fell short of a place in European club competition as they recorded only a third win in their last 13 league games to match their ninth-place finish in 2017.
Semenyo finished from close range after a short corner in the 74th minute was headed into a busy small box by Illia Zabarnyi.
He followed that up with the second two minutes from time with a drive from outside the penalty area.
