Bournemouth's impressive form in recent weeks has seen them continue to defy the odds, with their latest unbeaten run being all the more remarkable given the absence of star forward Antoine Semenyo, who left the club for Manchester City in January. Since Semenyo's departure, Bournemouth have managed to pick up 10 points from six games, including a 2-1 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Blackburn Rovers and a 1-1 draw with league leaders Burnley. These results have seen the Cherries leapfrog their opponents in the table and move up to sixth place, just a point behind the top two. One key factor behind Bournemouth's success has been the improved form of striker Dominic Solanke, who has scored four goals in his last six games. Solanke's partnership with fellow striker Jaidon Anthony has been a key factor in the Cherries' attack, with the duo providing a clinical edge that has seen Bournemouth take the lead in all but one of their games since Semenyo's departure. Anthony, who has scored three goals in his last five games, has been praised by manager Gary O'Neil for his pace and movement off the ball, which has allowed him to exploit the opposition's defense and create chances for Solanke. While Semenyo's departure was a significant blow to Bournemouth, the Cherries have also been able to call upon other members of their squad to step up and fill the void left by the Ghanaian striker. Midfielder Phillip Billing has been a key player in the Cherries' midfield, providing a creative spark that has allowed Bournemouth to dominate possession and control the tempo of the game.
