MONSTROUS NIGHTMARES

'Cherries have a scary ghoul machine in Semenyo'

- BY NEIL McLEMAN

ANTOINE SEMENYO is Bournemouth's own “monster” to challenge goal machine Erling Haaland, according to Alex Scott.

And the Cherries midfielder claimed “the whole world” is now realising the talent of the Londoner before the clash of two Premier League goalscoring big beasts today.

Only Manchester City star Haaland (11) had netted more Premier League goals this season than the Ghana forward (six) going into this weekend.

Semenyo's explosive mix of pace and power has helped lift Bournemouth two points above Pep Guardiola's side before they seek a first ever win at The Etihad.

And Scott is backing the former Bristol City ace and his inform teammates to outscore the prolific Norwegian today.

“Antoine’ got everything” he said. “Physically he’s a monster and that suits the Premier League to a tee.

“He can finish with both feet and he’ on a different level, especially this season. He has started ridiculously well.
