Black Stars forward, Antoine Semenyo has said that he is enjoying his fairytale start at Manchester City.

The Ghanaian attacker made his eighth goal contribution following his January transfer after scoring and delivering an assist in the 3-0 victory over Fulham.

Semenyo opened the scoring early in the game after poaching home in the 24th minute before setting up Nico O'reilly moments later to double City's advantage.

Erling Haaland sealed the win just before half time with a dominant display from the host in the first 45 minutes.

Speaking after the game, Antoine Semenyo said he is enjoying his new life at Manchester City.

“[There’s] no secrets! It’s just being part of a great team, a great environment, the coach has been great and they’ve made it easy for me to settle. It’s all a fairytale right now."

“[It was] very important [to win]. That was the message from when the game was done against Liverpool. Just backing up what we did on the weekend, it was a tough graft and we got the three points, today we did the same thing. I’m happy."

“He [O’Reilly] has got that in the locker. He’s a very technical player. When I slid him in I knew he was going to score,” he said the Ghanaian after the game.

The 26-year-old also made history on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, by becoming the first Ghanaian to score 13 goals in a single English Premier League season.
