Antoine Semenyo has found his scoring touch again after a month of silence in front of goal. The Ghanaian shone in the FA Cup semi-final, playing a pivotal role in Manchester City's dominant 4-0 victory over Liverpool.

After going seven matches without a goal in all competitions, Antoine Semenyo ended his barren spell this Saturday, April 4. The Ghanaian striker was one of the key architects of Manchester City's emphatic 4-0 win against Liverpool FC in the FA Cup semi-final.

Already making an impact before halftime, Semenyo provided a crucial assist for Erling Haaland in stoppage time of the first half (45+2'), allowing the Citizens to double their lead. After the break, he put the result beyond doubt by scoring the third goal in the 50th minute.

An immediate impact since his arrival

Arriving in January from AFC Bournemouth, Semenyo wasted no time establishing himself as a key component in Manchester City's setup. With 8 goals and 3 assists in 13 appearances across all competitions, his efficiency speaks for itself.

Before his transfer, the Ghanaian already boasted impressive stats with Bournemouth: 10 goals and 3 assists in 20 Premier League matches. That consistency has not only carried over to his new club but has arguably reached another level.

From Bournemouth to Manchester, the Ghanaian is reaching new heights. And at this rate, he could well become one of the key faces in City's pursuit of silverware.
