Man CityTwo goal contribution day
Semenyo scored one goal on three shots and one assist on a chance created in Saturday's 4-0 win over Liverpool.
Analysis: Semenyo would return to the starting XI Sunday after coming off the bench in the last outing against Real Madrid, a successful move for Pep Guardiola. He would go on to score a goal in the 50th minute against Liverpool, also adding an assist on a 45th-minute goal. Since his move to City, the attacker has recorded seven goals and two assists in 15 appearances.
Kept quiet Wednesday
Semenyo had two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid.
Analysis: Semenyo would be locked up by the Real Madrid defense for most of Wednesday's match, earning two shots but failing to hit the back of the net either time. He will need to regroup and refocus for the second leg as City tries to mount a comeback, not what the attacker was hoping for in his UCL debut.
Opening goal Wednesday
Semenyo scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Semenyo continues his flashes of excellence since joining Manchester City, scoring yet another goal Wednesday and seizing the opener in the 31st minute. This is the second straight match with a goal for the attacker, with four in their past six league outings. He is up to five goals and one assist since joining the club, although he sits third in the Golden Boot race with 14 goals this campaign.
Scores lone goal of match
Semenyo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Leeds United.
Analysis: Semenyo would score in injury time of the first half, notching thelone goal of the contest to secure City the win. He has earned a second goal in his past three league appearances, with three goal contributions during that span. He is now up to five goal contributions since joining City, appearing to have found his legs immediately with his new team.
Records three shots
Semenyo had three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Newcastle United.
Analysis: Semenyo got back into the starting XI in the last match after he was handed a bench spot in their FA Cup game, with the attacker recording three shots and two chances created, but not earning a goal contribution. The attacker remains at four since joining the club (six appearances), although he recorded 13 in 20 appearances in the first half with Bournemouth.
Two goal contributions
Semenyo scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Fulham.
Analysis: Semenyo continued his success since joining the club, as he would bag a goal in the 24th minute before an assist in the 30th minute for two goal contributions. That said, he is up to four goal contributions in his past four outings, with three goals and an assist during that span. However, he has six goal contributions in six games, including FA Cup play.
Three shots in Sunday's win
Semenyo generated three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Liverpool.
Analysis: Although Semenyo did not find the back of the net in his third consecutive match Sunday, he still put together a solid performance on the attack. He recorded three shots and put one on target, also creating one chance for his teammates. He also won five duels and one tackle on the defensive end before he was subbed off in the 96th minute for Nathan Ake.
Scores in Sunday's draw
Semenyo scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Semenyo bagged another goal Sunday, a strike in the 44th minute assisted by Bernardo Silva which took the 2-0 lead into the break. It marked his second consecutive match with a goal for his new club, and it's clear he's fitting right in in Manchester. He will look to keep his hot streak alive Sunday at Liverpool.
Scores one goal
Semenyo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Semenyo scored with a strike from the edge of the box after a well-weighted pass from Bernardo Silva in the first half against Wolverhampton on Saturday and could have added to his tally after attempting three shots, while also recording three interceptions thanks to his constant pressing. The forward has started every match since his arrival in the winter transfer window, except in the Champions League where he was ineligible after joining from Bournemouth, though his role and minutes remain uncertain amid competition from Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki, Jeremy Doku and Omar Marmoush.
Ineligible for UCL
Semenyo is ineligible for Tuesday's match against Glimt, according to his club.
Analysis: Semenyo will not be with the team for their upcoming UCL match, as the attacker is not yet registered for the competition following his January transfer. He has started in every match since joining the club, thus far, earning time in the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and league play. His best moments have come in the FA Cup, already having a goal and an assist with the club. The ongoing question remains to be what type of rotation will take place in the attack and how the club will fit everyone into play, with Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki, Jeremy Doku and Semenyo all lead contendors on the flank while Savinho, Oscar Bobb and Omar Marmoush still struggle for minutes.
Transferred to Manchester City
Semenyo was transferred from AFC Bournemouth to Manchester City and signed a contract until 2031, his new club announced. "Antoine is a really exciting signing for the football club. He made it clear to us immediately that it was City he wanted to join. His enthusiasm for this football club has been clear throughout the process. He has huge quality. Two great feet, pace, power, a habit of influencing games and, importantly, real room for growth and development. I am excited to see the player Antoine can become in the weeks, months and years ahead. We are constantly watching players all over the world. Antoine was the one we most wanted. He has shown he can perform in the Premier League. He is humble, hard-working, professional and totally focused on being a better footballer. He is ideal for us," Director of Football Hugo Viana said.
Analysis: Semenyo began his professional career at Bristol City after loan spells at Bath City, Newport County and Sunderland before joining Bournemouth in January 2023. He established himself as a key attacking player at Bournemouth, making 110 appearances and scoring 13 goals in all competitions in 2024/25 after eight goals and three assists in his first full Premier League season. During the 2025/26 campaign, he recorded 10 Premier League goals, including a brace at Liverpool and a last-minute winner against Tottenham in his final match for Bournemouth. He has earned 32 caps for Ghana, featured at the 2022 World Cup, and is available immediately for Manchester City, including the upcoming Carabao Cup semi-final.
Scores in farewell match
Semenyo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 43rd minute.
Analysis: With Semenyo appearing to be on his way towards joining Manchester City, he made one final appearance for Bournemouth in Wednesday's home contest. He was quiet for most of the match but in the 95th minute he ripped an outside-the-box strike that flew past Guglielmo Vicario to break the deadlock and earn Bournemouth a win. He was then subbed off just before the final whistle to receive an ovation from the home fans. Semenyo has been excellent with Bournemouth this season, scoring 10 goals and recording three assists across 20 starts.
Scores one goal in loss
Semenyo scored one goal to go with five shots (four on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Brentford.
Analysis: Semenyo scored a superb backheel goal in Saturday's match against Brentford and did everything he could to help his side, firing a season-high five shots but lacking efficiency against an in-form goalkeeper. The forward is enjoying a strong campaign, having now found the net in three consecutive Premier League matches after previously going seven straight without a goal. The Ghanaian will look to extend that streak to four games when his team faces a difficult trip to Chelsea on Tuesday.
Scores goal in draw
Semenyo scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.
Analysis: Semenyo ended Bournemouth's frustration in the 67th minute of Saturday's clash against the Clarets with a brilliant curling shot into the far corner to give the Cherries the lead. He had been Bournemouth's most persistent attacking threat earlier as well, first creating an early chance for David Brooks and then firing a powerful first-half effort narrowly wide of Martin Dubravka's far post. With Bournemouth producing 16 shot attempts, his finish was the one action that finally cracked Burnley's stacked defense, even if it was not enough to secure all three points. Semenyo contributed to three shots and three chances created and scored his second goal in the last two games after a seven-game streak without scoring. The forward will aim to find a third in a row against Brentford on Saturday.
Finds the net
Semenyo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 4-4 draw against Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 43rd minute.
Analysis: Semenyo scored a goal against Bournemouth on Monday following intense pressing, delivering an unstoppable curling shot. The Ghanaian, who had gone seven consecutive matches without a goal contribution, finally found the net, an encouraging sign ahead of the busy schedule and Boxing Day fixtures. The forward, known for his constant movement and versatility across the attacking front, has also registered 12 shots and created nine chances over his last four matches.
Five shots in draw
Semenyo had five shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Chelsea.
Analysis: Semenyo peppered the net Saturday with five shots (three on goal) but was unable to beat the keeper as Bournemouth payed to a scoreless draw versus Chelsea. Since his last league goal on Oct. 3, the dynamic forward has unleashed 17 shot attempts (10 on goal) across seven appearances (seven starts). Semenyo has attempted the third-most shots in the Premier League this season, trailing only Erling Haaland and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Three shots in loss
Semenyo had three shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Everton.
Analysis: Semenyo fired three shots for a second straight match and landed more than one on target for the second time in four appearances. On the other hand, this was the third time in that four-game span where he failed to account for a chance created.
Makes starting XI
Semenyo (ankle and illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Sunderland.
Analysis: Semenyo was dealing with an ankle injury and an illness that made him miss Saturday's draw against West Ham United. He returned to modified training during the week and has now been cleared to rejoin the squad at full capacity. The forward makes the starting XI for Saturday's clash against the Black Cats, confirming his status as an undisputed starter for the Cherries.
Late call against Sunderland
Semenyo (ankle and illness) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Sunderland, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference. "We still have to train today but he has been doing modified training with the team the previous days. If everything goes well today, I think he is going to be available for tomorrow, yes."
Analysis: Semenyo was dealing with an ankle injury and an illness that made him miss Saturday's draw against West Ham United. The forward was back in modified training with the team this week and will be available for Saturday's clash against the Black Cats if nothing happens before the game. This is a major boost for the Cherries since he is an undisputed starter in the attack and scored six goals and provided three assists in 11 Premier League appearances this season.
Training Tuesday
Semenyo (illness) took part in training Tuesday, according to James Savundra of Sky Sports.
Analysis: Semenyo missed out against West Ham due to an illness, but is already back in training. The quick turnaround is a good sign that the illness isn't a serious concern. The winger has been one of the top players in the league this season and should return to an immediate role in the starting XI for Saturday's trip to Sunderland.
