Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo has already surpassed his personal Premier League goal record, netting his 12th goal of the season in Sunday’s clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Ghanaian striker, who joined Manchester City in January 2026 from Bournemouth, scored twice in his first five appearances for the Citizens, underlining his rapid adaptation to Pep Guardiola’s system. Semenyo’s previous Premier League best was 11 goals during last season with Bournemouth, demonstrating his consistent rise in England’s top flight.

At 26, Semenyo has impressed with his pace, intelligent movement, and composure in front of goal. Manager Pep Guardiola praised the attacker for his quality and immediate impact, which has contributed to Manchester City’s attacking dominance.

In the match, Rayan Cherki opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a pass from Erling Haaland, before Semenyo extended the lead just before halftime, helping City take a 2-0 advantage.
