Semenyo continues hot form, nets stunning volley
City had been probing patiently before the breakthrough arrived in the 31st minute. After an earlier attempt drifted narrowly wide, Semenyo stayed alert.
A sweeping move began deep in defence, with nearly every player in blue involved. Rayan Cherki then surged forward, skipped past his marker and whipped a teasing delivery into the area.
The Black Stars attacker adjusted swiftly and unleashed a crisp left-footed finish that left the goalkeeper helpless.
Watch the video:
That strike followed his match-winning display against Leeds just days earlier, where he secured a narrow 1-0 victory.
Since settling into life at the Etihad, the 26-year-old has looked at ease in Pep Guardiola’s system.
The latest goal takes his tally to nine direct contributions since his January debut, seven finishes and two assists in 12 games for the Sky Blues.
In total, he now boasts 15 goals. Only Erling Haaland, with 22 and Brentford’s Igor Thiago, with 18, have managed more.
According to Squawka, among Premier League players, only Viktor Gyokeres has recorded more goal involvements in all competitions since January. The Sporting striker sits on 10, just ahead of Semenyo’s nine.
From a Ghanaian viewpoint, the numbers are even more impressive. He has set a new benchmark for the most productive campaign by a player from the West African nation in England’s top flight, eclipsing marks previously set by Anthony Yeboah and Andre Ayew.
