Semenyo scored twice in Bournemouth's 4-2 defeat at Liverpool on Friday, though also reported to ref Anthony Taylor that he had been racially abused by one Liverpool fan on 29 minutes.
The match was halted by Taylor, who spoke to both managers and both captains before resuming the game.
This morning, Semenyo took to social media to speak about the events: "Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever - not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together.
"To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true character, to the @premierleague officials who handled it professionally - thank you. Football showed its best side when it mattered most.
"Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play - for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be.
"The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together."
