Antoine Semenyo 'grateful' for Bournemouth's penalty shootout victory over Wolves

Bournemouth are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup after defeating visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers in a penalty shootout on Saturday.

The Cherries' Evanilson scored the game's opening goal in the 30th minute and Wolves responded at the hour mark through Matheus Cunha. That was it for the goals in normal time and extra time, setting up a dramatic shootout in which Bournemouth actually trailed for a round before ultimately winning 5-4.

For Antoine Semenyo, who played the first 105 minutes of the match, the Cherries' performance could have been sharper but the result is the most important thing.

"It was end-to-end stuff," Semenyo told BBC Match of the Day. "I feel like everyone's legs started to go after 90 minutes.

"It went to pens and luckily we won - grateful.

"I feel like we could have done it in 90 minutes, but the most important thing is we got the win and we're into the next round.

"I think as a group we need to be a bit more clinical and maybe in the table we'd be higher.

"I think now we have got the win and we will see who we get [in the draw] tomorrow."
