Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo credited his side’s emphatic 4–0 triumph over Liverpool to a strong team ethic built on defensive organization and sharp finishing.
Speaking to TNT Sports shortly after the FA Cup quarter-final clash on April 4, 2026, the Ghana international highlighted the squad’s commitment to sustaining the momentum generated from their recent Carabao Cup success.
Semenyo, who found the net for City’s third goal early in the second half after being set up by Rayan Cherki, explained that the team approached the game with the intention of carrying their winning form into another commanding display against one of their fiercest rivals.
He pointed out that unity across all areas of the pitch was central to their performance. According to Semenyo, the players had engaged in discussions after the Carabao Cup final about improving both their attacking efficiency and defensive stability.
“Feels amazing. The team played really well today. We wanted to continue from the Carabao Cup final and we carried on today,” he said.
“We said from the final once we are back we wanted to score goals, defend as a team and we did that perfectly today.”
The victory, which featured a hat-trick from Erling Haaland, was also built on a solid defensive foundation, including a key penalty save by goalkeeper James Trafford.
For Semenyo, who completed a £64 million move to City in January 2026, the performance underlined what he described as a near-flawless execution of their tactical approach as the team continues its pursuit of more trophies this season.
