‘We did it perfectly’ – Antoine Semenyo praises City’s all-round dominance in Liverpool win

Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo has attributed the club’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Liverpool to a collective commitment to defensive discipline and clinical finishing.

Speaking to TNT Sports in the immediate aftermath of the FA Cup quarter-final triumph on April 4, 2026, the Ghanaian international praised his teammates for maintaining the high standards set during their recent Carabao Cup success.

Semenyo, who scored City’s third goal in the 50th minute after being set up by Rayan Cherki, emphasized that the squad’s primary objective was to translate their cup-winning momentum into a dominant performance against their long-standing rivals.

A key theme of Semenyo’s post-match remarks was the emphasis on unity across the pitch. He noted that the squad had held internal discussions following the Carabao Cup final regarding the need to improve both their offensive output and their defensive solidity.

“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 saw Erling Haaland net a hat-trick, was underpinned by a resolute defensive display that included a crucial penalty save by James Trafford.

For Semenyo, who joined City for £64 million in January 2026, the performance served as a testament to the team’s "perfect" execution of their tactical plan as they chase further silverware this season.
