Manchester City can still dream of English glory. Thanks to a red-hot Antoine Semenyo, who scored the decisive goal this Saturday, the Citizens defeated Leeds United (0-1). They remain firmly in the hunt for the title.

Antoine Semenyo netted his 14th goal of the Premier League season. He struck in the 45th minute with the only goal of the match, handing victory to Manchester City. In a tense, crucial encounter for the standings, Semenyo once again delivered when it mattered. His goal keeps City’s championship ambitions very much alive.

With 14 league goals to his name, he is now the club’s second top scorer this season, trailing only the inevitable Erling Haaland. It's a remarkable achievement for a player who has established himself as one of the Skyblues’ best recent signings.

The numbers speak for themselves. Antoine Semenyo is involved in a goal every 110 minutes in a City shirt. Over his last 11 appearances, he’s already racked up 6 goals and 2 assists, for a total of 8 direct contributions.

Even better, he’s on a run of three consecutive matches with a goal, confirming his exceptional form. By matchday 26, his attacking influence has been crucial in City’s points tally.

Ghana’s new weapon

Beyond the Premier League, an entire nation is rejoicing. Ghana can count on a red-hot Semenyo as the World Cup approaches. Right now, he stands out as the most prominent and decisive player in the national squad.
