Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has once again been subjected to racial abuse on social media, months after a similar incident earlier in the 2025/26 English Premier League season.

The latest episode came after Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.

Semenyo, who completed the full 90 minutes, later shared a post on Instagram celebrating the victory but was met with a racially abusive comment.

Responding to the abuse, he wrote: “It’s started again…”, referencing a previous incident in December 2025 during his spell at AFC Bournemouth, when he was targeted following a 4-2 defeat to Liverpool.

The incident has reignited concerns about the persistent problem of online racism in football, despite ongoing anti-discrimination campaigns across the sport.

The 26-year-old, who joined Manchester City in January 2026, has made a strong impact at the Etihad, scoring 15 league goals so far this season and helping the club to Carabao Cup success.
