AgajaHub AdminSemenyo Cuts a Frustrated Figure After Late Burnley Equaliser Denies Home Win
Antoine Semenyo did not hide his anger and disappointment following his side’s 1–1 draw at home against Burnley, a match that slipped away after a late equaliser from the visitors.
The home side looked on course for all three points after taking a 1–0 lead and holding firm for much of the contest. With Burnley struggling to break through, the atmosphere inside the stadium suggested a crucial victory was within reach. However, a late goal from Burnley turned celebrations into frustration, leaving the hosts with only a single point.
Speaking after the match, Semenyo was visibly upset and took responsibility for the dropped points. “We should have taken the three points,” he said. “But I cost us the game. At this level, mistakes like that change everything.”
The forward’s comments reflected the mood among sections of the fanbase, with criticism quickly following the final whistle. Some supporters were unforgiving, arguing that errors at such a key moment were unacceptable and calling for Semenyo to be benched. “A player like this should be on the bench,” one fan said, echoing the frustration felt around the ground.
Despite the harsh reaction, the result was a collective disappointment for the team, who had controlled much of the match before conceding late. The draw feels more like a loss, especially given how close they came to securing a vital home win.
Burnley, meanwhile, will be encouraged by their late resilience, while the home side are left to reflect on another game where concentration in the final moments proved costly. For Semenyo, the focus now turns to responding on the pitch as the pressure intensifies ahead of the next fixture.
