Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo is riding a wave of excitement after winning the first major trophy of his career following Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final.
The Black Stars attacker started on the right side of City’s attack and delivered an impressive performance against the Gunners. Beyond the silverware, the result could also prove significant ahead of a potentially title-deciding league clash between the two sides later in April.
Speaking to the club’s media, Semenyo reflected on the milestone moment with pride and expressed confidence in Manchester City’s chances of pushing on to secure the league title.
“First of many! I’m excited, I’m happy. And many more to come!. if you have the game plan right you’ll win. We did that today. We’re proud and happy. I have that freedom to do what I want, get at defenders, and cause problems. That’s what I did today.”
