Flipping great as Ant turns on style

ANTOINE SEMENYO was head over heels as he sent Millwall tumbling out of the FA Cup.
The Bristol City winger celebrated a 72nd-minute wonder goal which put this tie to bed with a somersault.
It completed a miserable reunion with his old pals for former Robins goalkeeper Frank Fielding.
His dreams of putting one over his old club were dented when he gave away a
32nd-minute penalty which Famara Diedhiou converted.
He was then left flat-footed by a deflected
58th-minute Nahki Wells free-kick.
And his day went from bad to worse as Semenyo killed off the Lions, driving through the heart of their defence before finishing in style.
Robins boss Dean Holden said: “There were two special passages of play in the first half.
“One led to the penalty when we cut them open.
“Later, Nahki’s free-kick was a little fortuitous with the deflection.
“But the third one was a fantastic goal.”
Millwall’s home misery stretched to a ninth game without a win.
Lions boss Gary Rowett said: “I thought for the first 30 minutes we played quite well and had some chances and made one mistake and they get the penalty.
“So to be 1-0 down was a little unfair but we responded quite well and the second goal then really kills us and kills the game.”
