African players shine across Europe

While Mohamed Salah Liverpool Premier League title celebrations grabbed headlines, other African stars also made major impacts across Europe’s top leagues this weekend.

Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)

Ghana’s Antoine Semenyo continued his impressive season for Bournemouth, finding the net in a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Manchester United. Semenyo opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, his powerful shot slightly deflecting off United midfielder Casemiro. However, despite Semenyo’s 11th goal of the season, Bournemouth were denied all three points after Rasmus Hojlund equalized deep into stoppage time. Semenyo’s consistent performances have been pivotal for the Cherries as they push for a top-half finish.

Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea)

Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson ended a frustrating 13-match goal drought, scoring the winner for Chelsea in a narrow 1-0 victory over Everton. Jackson’s long-range strike in the 27th minute was enough to secure a vital three points for Chelsea and lift Enzo Maresca’s side to fifth place in the standings. Jackson, often criticized earlier in the campaign, netted his 10th goal of the season at a crucial time as Chelsea chase European qualification.

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

In Germany, Guinea’s Serhou Guirassy starred again for Borussia Dortmund as they edged Hoffenheim 3-2 in a thrilling Bundesliga clash. Guirassy opened the scoring with a clinical low shot before providing a precise assist for Waldemar Anton’s dramatic winner deep into injury time. Guirassy’s contributions have been extraordinary this season, with the forward tallying 30 goals and nine assists across all competitions, making him one of Dortmund’s standout performers.

Youssouf Ndayishimiye (Nice)

Over in France, Burundi international Youssouf Ndayishimiye produced a captain’s performance to guide Nice to a famous 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain. Wearing the armband, Ndayishimiye scored the decisive third goal to end PSG’s dreams of an unbeaten Ligue 1 season. His leadership and defensive solidity have kept Nice’s hopes of Champions League qualification alive, with the club now firmly in contention for a top-three finish.

Amine Gouiri (Marseille)

Algerian forward Amine Gouiri had a memorable evening as he fired a hat-trick in Marseille’s 4-1 demolition of Brest. Gouiri’s performance was capped by a spectacular overhead kick, earning widespread acclaim. The 25-year-old, who missed the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations due to injury, has been in blistering form since joining Marseille from Rennes in January, now boasting seven goals in just 11 appearances. Gouiri’s return to fitness and form has been a major boost for Marseille as they aim to secure a Champions League berth.
