The Ghanaian now has five goals in eight appearances since his January move to the Etihad from Bournemouth, opening the scoring against the Cottagers in rainy Manchester with an instinctive poke from close-range after 24 minutes.
Semenyo then played Nico O’Reilly through to double our lead, before Erling Haaland made it three, moving level in fourth on our all-time goalscoring charts with the legendary Colin Bell with 153 goals.

Semenyo’s blistering start in sky blue has caught the eye and the winger has praised the culture at the Club for helping him settle so seamlessly into a different environment.
“[There’s] no secrets! It’s just being part of a great team, a great environment, the coach has been great and they’ve made it easy for me to settle. It’s all a fairytale right now.
“[It was] very important [to win]. That was the message from when the game was done against Liverpool. Just backing up what we did on the weekend, it was a tough graft and we got the three points, today we did the same thing. I’m happy.
“He [O’Reilly] has got that in the locker. He’s a very technical player. When I slid him in I knew he was going to score.”
The victory means we move three points behind league-leaders Arsenal, who play on Thursday night away to Brentford.
Semenyo believes City have all the ammunition to mount a title charge, despite the pressure of the situation and the demands of competing for silverware across four different competitions.
“It’s new to me. I’m enjoying it. But obviously It comes with a lot of pressure and demands. We have the team to do it. We just need to keep going.
“Just going to sit tight and watch the game tomorrow and hopefully it goes our way so let’s see.”
