Black Stars winger, Antoine Semenyo continued his blistering form after scoring in Manchester City’s 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

The match, played at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, was keenly contested, with both sides pressing each other for about 30 minutes without a goal.

The Ghanaian forward rose to the occasion in the 31st minute when Marc Guehi collected the ball from the center circle and passed it to Bernardo Silva, who found Ryan Cherki in the penalty box. Cherki delivered a cross that Semenyo neatly tapped into the net for the opener.

The goal marked his 15th Premier League strike of the season, though it was not enough to secure all three points, unlike the outcome against Leeds United.

Nottingham Forest equalised in the 56th minute through Morgan Gibbs-White. City responded with sustained pressure, and Rodri restored their lead with a well-taken goal.

However, Elliot Anderson’s brilliant long-range strike beat Gianluigi Donnarumma late in the game to level the score at 2-2.

The result was a huge blow for Pep Guardiola’s men, who were hoping to strengthen their position in the Premier League title race.

Meanwhile, Arsenal defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 to extend their lead at the top of the table to seven points with 67.

Manchester City remain second with 60 points, pending their one outstanding match.
