Antoine Semenyo continued his impressive form for Manchester City, scoring in their commanding 3–0 victory over Fulham as the former champions tightened the Premier League title race.

The Ghanaian forward opened the scoring in the 24th minute, setting the tone for a dominant first-half display at the Etihad Stadium. Youngster O’Reilly doubled City’s advantage six minutes later before Erling Haaland added a third in the 39th minute to seal the result before the break.

Semenyo’s latest contribution means he has now been directly involved in seven goals in just eight matches across all competitions for City, registering five goals and two assists. Against Fulham, he not only found the net but also provided an assist in a lively first-half performance.

The 24-year-old has been influential in recent league fixtures. In his last five Premier League appearances, he has scored against Wolves, Tottenham and Fulham, while drawing blanks against Manchester United and Liverpool.

City’s victory sees them move to within three points of leaders Arsenal, intensifying the battle at the top of the table as the season approaches a crucial stage.

For Semenyo, the growing numbers underline his importance in Pep Guardiola’s attacking setup, and his form could prove decisive as City chase yet another league crown.
