It had been a miserable two months for Bournemouth in the Premier League.
After putting themselves firmly in the running for European football next term, it looked like those dreams were fading after a winless run of six league games.
Gathering just two points from a possible 18, Andoni Iraola's side were slipping down the table.
How quickly things can change. All Bournemouth needed was 53 seconds.
Antoine Semenyo's early clinical finish was enough for the Cherries to avoid falling six points behind Fulham and ensure their European hopes lived on.
Eighth place - where Bournemouth now find themselves - is likely to be enough for a Europa Conference League qualification spot, as long as League Cup champions Newcastle and the winners of the FA Cup finish in the top seven.
