Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has revealed he is backing former teammate Antoine Semenyo and Manchester City in the Premier League title race following his side’s win over Arsenal.
Scott scored in Bournemouth’s 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium, a result that handed City a timely advantage and reduced the gap at the top to six points ahead of a decisive clash.
Speaking after the match, the 22-year-old disclosed he had contacted Semenyo, who recently joined City, and admitted he hopes his former teammate ends the season as champion.
“I texted Antoine Semenyo afterwards; he was happy with us winning,” Scott said. “I’m hoping for Antoine, but Arsenal have been brilliant all year, so whoever wins it will deserve it.”
Scott’s goal proved crucial in shifting momentum in the title race, with City capitalising by beating Chelsea 3-0 to close the gap further.
Semenyo has played an important role in City’s recent form since his arrival, adding depth to Pep Guardiola’s attacking options.
The title race has taken a dramatic turn heading into the final weeks of the season, with Arsenal’s form dipping and City gaining momentum.
