The 26 year old scored Man City’s sixth goal in the 54th minute and assisted Rico Lewis for Man City’s fifth in the 49th minute.
In a post-game presser, Man City assistant Pep Lijnders reiterated Semenyo’s qualities that got the club to be interested in him stating to the club’s media that,
“We followed him-Antoine Semenyo- for a long time and he brings something to the front line we need. He wants to chase, he doesn’t stop. He can adapt quickly to our style so it’s nice to have him with us.”
