Semenyo Shines as Man City Crush Exeter 10-1—Ghanaian Star Silences Doubters!
Antoine Semenyo made a big impression at the Etihad Stadium, scoring the Man of the Match award as Manchester City beat Exeter City 10-1 to tie their FA Cup record. His direct attacking and clinical efficiency put to rest any doubts about his £64 million move. When given a starting role, the Ghanaian international fit right in with City’s system. He became the creative heart of a dominant second-half surge, completing 91% of his passes in the opposition half and assisting Rico Lewis with a perfect cross. Later, he scored after receiving a through ball from Rayan Cherki. The assistant coach praised Semenyo’s impact while Pep Lijnders was in charge of the touchline, saying, “Antoine is settling in well.” He brings something to the front line that we really need. He can attack quickly, wants to chase, and is a guy who never stops. “You can see today that he can adapt to our style pretty quickly,” which shows that his pressing and intensity are exactly what the club wanted. City moves on to the next round of the FA Cup, and Semenyo is set to play a big role in upcoming competitions, including the Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle United.
