Semenyo scores against Wolves
Restored to the starting lineup after missing the midweek Champions League defeat to Bodo/Glimt due to UEFA regulations, Semenyo wasted little time making his presence felt.
According to Sports Mole, City shot into the lead early when Omar Marmoush struck for the Sky Blues after returning from AFCON duties with Egypt.
Watch Marmoush's goal:
Four minutes later, the Semenyo nearly doubled City's lead after chasing a lofted delivery from Marc Guehi.
Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa reacted sharply to keep him out, a moment Semenyo would normally expect to convert.
Redemption came before the break. Latching onto a crisp pass from Bernardo Silva, the Ghanaian skipped past his marker with his first touch and calmly guided a left-footed finish into the bottom corner during first-half added time.
Watch Semenyo's goal:
It was his first Premier League goal for City, following earlier strikes in the FA Cup and EFL Cup, as noted by Transfermarkt.
The effort means only the Manchester United defeat remains the sole match where he failed to score for Guardiola’s side since his arrival.
Fans hail Semenyo
Semenyo’s growing influence has not gone unnoticed. He now boasts 11 league goals this season, with only Igor Thiago and Erling Haaland ahead of him in the scoring charts during the 2025/26 campaign, per the BBC.
Supporters quickly flooded social media with praise, impressed by his sharp movement and calm finishing.

Semenyo praised for electric City start
Former Great Olympics, Karela United and Swedru All Blacks coach Prince George Koffie has praised Antoine Semenyo’s blistering start at Manchester City, while also highlighting the forward’s strong mentality. Speaking to YEN.com.gh, he said:
“A move to Man City was a tough call for Semenyo, and honestly I felt he should have moved to Liverpool or possibly Manchester United, but he has taken to life at City like a duck to water.
“I must say I am hugely impressed with his fast start and, knowing his mentality, he will fight for his place anywhere.
"He has the resilience and hunger to break through, and he will make it under Pep Guardiola.”
Koffie added that with confidence growing and goals flowing, Semenyo is quickly becoming a reliable attacking option for City.
He believes the Ghanaian’s rise could boost the club’s title push and ultimately work to the advantage of the Black Stars as well.
