"Antoine Semenyo made himself an instant Manchester City hero as Pep Guardiola's men took a giant stride towards the League Cup final with a 2-0 win at Newcastle, although the win was not without controversy. The Ghana international, who joined from Bournemouth for £65 million (A$130m) last week, opened the scoring and also had a second goal controversially ruled out."
"Rayan Cherki delivered what could be the knockout blow to the holders in the 98th minute. The Magpies ended a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy by winning the League Cup last season, but will need a heroic fightback to reach Wembley when the sides meet again for the second leg of the semi-final on February 4. Semenyo also scored on his debut on Saturday in a 10-1 demolition of Exeter in the FA Cup."
Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring as Manchester City won 2-0 at Newcastle in the League Cup semi-final first leg, and had a second goal controversially ruled out. Rayan Cherki added a late goal in the 98th minute to compound Newcastle’s task ahead of the second leg on February 4. Semenyo joined City last week from Bournemouth for £65 million and had also scored on his debut in a 10-1 FA Cup win over Exeter. A rule change allowed Semenyo to play after featuring for Bournemouth earlier in the competition. Guardiola selected a strong side including Erling Haaland.
