Antoine Semenyo made a spectacular debut for Manchester City, contributing significantly to their 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. The forward, who joined City for £65 million, showcased his instincts by scoring the opening goal at St James’ Park, swiftly reacting to a cross from Jeremy Doku after a clever flick-on by Bernardo Silva.
Newcastle United will be left lamenting their missed opportunities, having struck the woodwork twice during a goalless first half. Their frustrations deepened in stoppage time when substitute Rayan Cherki added a second goal for City, solidifying their lead.
With this impressive performance, Manchester City heads into the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on February 4 with a strong advantage, positioning themselves confidently for a chance to reach yet another final. The team’s blend of new talent and solid execution bodes well for their ambitions this season, creating a sense of excitement among fans for what lies ahead.
