Ghana international Antoine Semenyo maintained his fine start to life at Manchester City by finding the net again as Pep Guardiola’s side recorded a comfortable home victory on Saturday.
City welcomed bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Etihad Stadium in Round 23 of the Premier League, and it took just six minutes for the hosts to take control.
Fresh from Africa Cup of Nations duty, Egypt forward Omar Marmoush opened the scoring with an early strike.
The home side dominated proceedings throughout the first half and, just as Wolves looked set to head into the break only a goal down, Semenyo struck.
The former AFC Bournemouth forward doubled City’s advantage in the 45th minute, sealing a 2–0 win that cut the gap to league leaders Arsenal to four points ahead of their clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
The goal marked Semenyo’s first in the Premier League for Manchester City. He had previously found the net in the FA Cup against Exeter City and in the Carabao Cup versus Newcastle United.
The 26-year-old has now scored three goals in four appearances for City and will be looking to continue his impressive form when the champions host Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League midweek before travelling to face Tottenham Hotspur in their next league outing.
