Antoine Semenyo shines in the EPL
Semenyo’s 13 goals in 26 appearances put him on par with Chelsea’s Joao Pedro, both averaging a goal every 180 minutes, as BBC stats indicate.
Unlike some of his peers, the ex-Bournemouth man also contributes with 4 assists, highlighting his dual threat as a scorer and playmaker. His goal-per-90 rate of 0.5 demonstrates that he scores once every two full games, making him a reliable option in high-pressure matches.
According to the BBC, although Erling Haaland sits atop the chart with 22 goals and a remarkable 0.88 goals per 90 minutes, Semenyo’s efficiency is impressive in its own right.

He takes a total of 62 shots with a 21% conversion rate and an outstanding 55% shot accuracy, meaning more than half of his attempts find the target, a key metric that underlines his quality finishing.
Comparatively, Haaland’s 23% conversion and 50% accuracy show that Semenyo is slightly more precise with fewer chances, an encouraging sign for City fans.
Igor Thiago's impressive 2025/26 season
Looking at other forwards in the Premier League, Brentford’s Igor Thiago leads the chasing pack with 17 goals, albeit with only 1 assist, and Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitiké has netted 10 goals in 24 games with a goal every 161 minutes.
Arsenal’s Vencel Gyökeres and Leeds’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin also reach double digits, but Semenyo’s combination of scoring and assisting gives him a unique edge.
