FOOTBALL – MANCHESTER City’s Antoine Semenyo made it two goals from two games for his new club and Rayan Cherki struck in stoppage time as Pep Guardiola’s side beat holders Newcastle United 2-0 away in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final last night.
Semenyo, who joined in a £65 million ($87.25m) deal from Bournemouth this month, got on the end of Jeremy Doku’s cross in the 53rd minute to score from close range.
It could have been even better for Semenyo who thought he had put City 2-0 ahead later on but his neat finish was ruled out for offside after a lengthy VAR check.
City gave themselves a cushion for the second leg as Cherki swept in a low shot to silence the home fans.
