Samuel Chukwueze Shines Despite Fulham’s Defeat to Bournemouth

Samuel Chukwueze earned praise for his lively display in Fulham’s 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth in Friday night’s Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium.

The Nigerian forward, on loan from AC Milan, came on in the 67th minute for only his second league appearance. Just three minutes later, he made an impact—providing the assist for Ryan Sessegnon’s opener in the 70th minute.

However, Fulham’s lead was short-lived. Antoine Semenyo struck twice, and Justin Kluivert added another to give Bournemouth a comeback victory.

Despite the loss, Chukwueze was among Fulham’s top performers. According to ratings compiled by Sky Sports, he received a 7/10, higher than his Nigerian teammates Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, who both scored 6/10
