Antoine Semenyo was the hero for Manchester City at Elland Road today, scoring the only goal in their 1-0 win over Leeds United. The Ghanaian forward found the net in the second minute of first-half injury time after a great build-up from his teammates, giving City all three points in this tough away game.
Semenyo has been in strong form this season. He has scored 13 Premier League goals so far — 10 of those for Bournemouth earlier in the season and 3 since joining Manchester City — and has added 4 assists to his tally, showing his all-around threat in the final third.
The win keeps Manchester City right behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race. Arsenal are top of the table with 61 points, while City sit just behind on 56 points — a gap of five points between the two sides as the campaign moves deeper into the business end.
Today’s result will give City confidence in their bid for the title, and Semenyo’s performance proves he is a key player for Pep Guardiola’s side this season.
