Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo expressed pure delight following his side's emphatic 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final victory over Liverpool, praising the team's collective performance.

"Feels amazing. The team played really well today," Semenyo told TNT Sports after the April 4, 2026, clash.

The Ghana international scored City's third goal early in the second half, finishing off a setup from Rayan Cherki.

His strike came as part of a dominant display that also featured a hat-trick from Erling Haaland and a crucial penalty save from goalkeeper James Trafford.

Semenyo revealed that the team had carried the momentum from their recent Carabao Cup success into the FA Cup tie.

"We wanted to continue from the Carabao Cup final, and we carried on today. We said from the final once we are back we wanted to score goals, defend as a team, and we did that perfectly today."

The 26-year-old, who completed a £64 million move to City from Bournemouth in January, has quickly established himself as a key figure in Pep Guardiola's attack. His goal against Liverpool was his 18th of the season across all competitions.

With City still competing on multiple fronts, Semenyo's form will be crucial as the club pushes for more silverware in the season's final stretch.
