In a stunning upset, Antoine Semenyo secured a 3-2 victory for Bournemouth over Tottenham, putting Thomas Frank under intense scrutiny. The Ghanaian forward, who is reportedly set to join Manchester City for a £65 million transfer, marked his 26th birthday with a dramatic stoppage-time goal that left the Tottenham boss fighting for his job. Semenyo's 10th goal of the season sparked jubilation at the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth had been searching for a win to end an 11-match drought. The Cherries' triumph, coupled with Tottenham's struggles, has narrowed the gap between the two teams to just one point, with Bournemouth now sitting below mid-table. Tottenham's players paid tribute to their late legend Martin Chivers, who passed away at 80, by wearing black armbands. However, the team's performance on the pitch was a different story, with Frank's tactics coming under fire once again. The Dane's side has managed only two wins in their last 12 league games, and the Tottenham faithful turned on him in anger. In contrast, Semenyo was given a standing ovation by the Bournemouth fans, who recognized his incredible contribution to the team. His goal, a swerving shot from long range, was a fitting tribute to the memory of Chivers, and a reminder of the attacking flair that has been missing from Tottenham's game this season. Frank's future at the club is now uncertain, just months after he replaced Ange Postecoglou. While Postecoglou struggled to improve Tottenham's domestic form, he did lead the team to a Europa League title last season, a feat that has eluded Frank so far. The question now is whether the Tottenham board will give Frank the chance to turn things around, or whether he will become the next casualty of the club's struggles.
