Bournemouth signing Joshua Semenyo continued his impressive start at Manchester City by scoring in the 64th minute of City’s 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg victory over Newcastle at St. James’ Park. Rayan Cherki added the second goal to seal the win.
This marks Semenyo’s second goal in two consecutive games, a feat not achieved at the club since Sergio Agüero in 2011. The Ghanaian striker impressed with direct runs and slick link-up play reminiscent of Lionel Messi, earning praise from teammates and fans alike.
Teammate Erling Haaland humorously remarked that Semenyo seems to be chasing his Golden Boot, highlighting the striker’s confidence and early-season form. Fans have also celebrated the chemistry between Jeremy Doku and Semenyo, dubbing the Ghanaian duo the “Jesus boys” for their faith and seamless collaboration on the pitch.
Semenyo’s performances are quickly making him a fan favorite, and Manchester City will look to build on this momentum in the second leg of the semi-final.
