Enes Unal made a memorable impact on his Premier League debut for Bournemouth, scoring a crucial goal as they secured a victory over Brighton. Marcos Senesi's early header set the tone for Andoni Iraola's side, giving them the lead after a set-piece situation. Despite Brighton's attempts to clear, Senesi capitalized on the defensive lapse to nod home from close range.
Unal, displaying his attacking prowess, missed an opportunity in the first half but redeemed himself after the break with a cleverly executed header from Dango Ouattara's delivery. Justin Kluivert further sealed Bournemouth's victory with a powerful left-footed strike, highlighting his recent impressive form at home. Throughout the match, Brighton struggled to impose themselves and create significant goal-scoring opportunities, with Simon Adingra's effort being the closest they came to a breakthrough.
While Bournemouth celebrated their achievement of reaching their highest points total in the Premier League, there were concerns as winger Antoine Semenyo suffered a suspected knee injury late in the game. Despite this setback, Iraola expressed satisfaction with his team's performance and confirmed Unal's loan move would be made permanent, emphasizing the striker's positive impact on and off the pitch.
Meanwhile, Brighton's inconsistent form continues, leaving them in 12th place and raising questions about their season trajectory amid a campaign that has seen them struggle to maintain their previous standards of progress.
