Antoine Semenyo continued his blistering start at Manchester City with another goal in their Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on January 24, 2026.
The 26-year-old Black Stars forward, who joined the Cityzens from AFC Bournemouth in a £62.5 million January move, has now scored three goals in four appearances, underlining his seamless adaptation to life under Pep Guardiola.
Restored to the starting lineup after missing City’s midweek Champions League defeat to Bodo/Glimt due to UEFA regulations, Semenyo made an immediate impact. City took an early lead through Omar Marmoush, fresh from AFCON duty with Egypt, before Semenyo began to impose himself on the contest.
The Ghanaian came close to doubling the advantage after chasing down a lofted pass from Marc Guéhi, only to be denied by a sharp save from Wolves goalkeeper José Sá. He made no mistake later, however, showing composure and quality by collecting a precise pass from Bernardo Silva, beating his marker with his first touch, and calmly slotting a left-footed finish into the bottom corner in first-half stoppage time.
The strike marked Semenyo’s first Premier League goal for Manchester City, adding to earlier goals in the FA Cup and EFL Cup. Notably, the only match he has failed to score in since arriving remains City’s defeat to Manchester United.
Semenyo’s rapid rise has excited City fans, who took to social media to praise his movement, confidence, and finishing. He now has 11 league goals this season, trailing only Igor Thiago and Erling Haaland in the 2025/26 scoring charts.
With goals flowing and confidence high, Semenyo is quickly establishing himself as a key attacking option for City as they continue their title push.
