Last Updated : 14-Jan-2026 by Footymad

Manchester City’s new £65 million man Antoine Semenyo has made an instant impact at the club, scoring the opening goal in City’s 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg victory over Newcastle at St James' Park.

The Ghanaian international, who joined from Bournemouth last week, led a strong Pep Guardiola side that also featured Erling Haaland.

While Rayan Cherki added a second, the match was marred by controversy as Semenyo had a second goal ruled out by VAR for offside, sparking a heated post-match debate from the City bench.
