'We just need to keep going' – Semenyo keeps City in title hunt
· GhanaSoccernetAntoine Semenyo has delivered a simple yet defiant message as Manchester City chase silverware on four fronts: keep going, keep believing, and keep pushing.
The Ghana forward scored once in City's 3-0 victory over Fulham on Wednesday, registering his seventh goal contribution in just eight appearances since his record-breaking January move from Bournemouth. Five goals. Two assists. One transformative impact.
But for Semenyo, the numbers are secondary to what lies ahead.
"It's new to me. I'm enjoying it," he told TNT Sports. "But obviously it comes with a lot of pressure and demands. We have the team to do it. We just need to keep going."
Those four words—we just need to keep going—capture both the maturity of a player arriving on the big stage and the relentless mentality Pep Guardiola demands.
City now sit three points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race. On March 22, they face the same opponents in the Carabao Cup final. Two more trophies remain within reach. For Semenyo, who has never won major silverware in his professional career, this is uncharted territory.
He is navigating it with calm.
His goal against Fulham took his Premier League tally to 13 for the season, surpassing Anthony Yeboah's 30-year record to make him the highest-scoring Ghanaian in a single English top-flight campaign. Guardiola has described him as "an incredible signing". Teammates speak of his seamless integration.
Yet Semenyo's focus remains forward.
The title race tightens. The fixtures pile up. The pressure intensifies.
And Antoine Semenyo—new to all of it—simply keeps going.
