Manchester City’s unbeaten run in the FA Cup rolled on in emphatic style as they stormed to a 10-1 win, but it was Antoine Semenyo who left one City player especially impressed.
City ran up a double-figure scoreline in a one-sided tie, overwhelming their opponents with wave after wave of attacks and barely allowing them a foothold in the contest. Even with the margin of victory, Semenyo’s display stood out as one of the defining talking points on the day.
After the final whistle, a City star admitted they were “blown away” by Semenyo and revealed just how highly he is rated in the game, saying: “Everybody wanted him!”
The comment underlined the respect Semenyo has earned and placed the spotlight firmly on his contribution, even in a match dominated by City’s firepower. City’s 10-1 victory sends them into the next stage of the FA Cup in high spirits, but the post-match discussion made clear that Semenyo’s performance did not go unnoticed among elite opposition.
