City's Rampage: Semenyo Shines on Debut as Man City Routs Exeter 10-1
In a night to remember at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City proved their superiority over League One side Exeter City with a staggering 10-1 FA Cup win. The dominant display saw star striker Erling Haaland play only the first half before making way for debutant Antoine Semenyo. The Ghanaian's impressive performance capped off an already impressive evening, as City broke multiple records and cemented their position as one of Europe's top teams.
Semenyo's Goal and Assist
The 26-year-old forward scored a goal on his first start and provided another assist in the process, showcasing his quality on the pitch. His contribution was a significant factor in the record-breaking scoreline, and he was praised by City boss Pep Lijnders for his "humble" yet effective performance.
Lijnders noted that Semenyo brought something unique to the team, describing him as a "quick attacker" who doesn't stop running. The City manager also highlighted the Ghanaian's ability to adapt quickly to their playing style, stating that he is a valuable addition to the squad.
City's Record-Breaking Win
The 10-1 victory not only set a new club record but also surpassed Exeter's FA Cup defeat of Liverpool in 1890. The win marked City's biggest margin since their Second Division days and made it their largest FA Cup success since 2019.
Semenyo's performance, coupled with the team's ruthless attacking display, left many impressed. The young forward has already made a significant impact on his debut, and it remains to be seen how he will perform in future games for City.
A Special Night for City
The win was a testament to City's strength and depth under Pep Lijnders' leadership. With their next game being the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle, the team continues to push on all fronts. The 12-game unbeaten streak in all competitions serves as evidence of their resilience and ability to overcome challenges.
The win has also sparked debate about City's chances this season. While they trail leaders Arsenal by six points in the Premier League, their performances have been consistently strong. A top-four finish is likely within reach, but City will need to maintain their focus if they are to achieve their ultimate goal: reaching the Champions League finals.
The Future Looks Bright for Semenyo and City
With his impressive debut under his belt, Antoine Semenyo has become a fan favorite at Manchester City. The Ghanaian's humility and work ethic have won over many, and his performance on the pitch is a testament to his quality.
As City continue their quest for success, it will be interesting to see how Semenyo integrates into the team. With his impressive start, he may become an integral part of Pep Lijnders' plans. The future looks bright for both Semenyo and City, and fans are eagerly anticipating what's next for this dominant side.

10-1 is insane! I'm loving how Semenyo stepped up on his debut, score & assist goals = goals! 
He's got that speedy vibe going on 
and Pep Lijnders must be doing something right to bring out the best in him. Can't wait to see what he does next, I think City is onto something with this young lad 
City absolutely smashed it 10-1 over Exeter! That debut performance by Antoine Semenyo was straight fire 
, scoring a goal and assist on his first start? I'm lovin' it!! 
Pep Lijnders knows what he's doin', bringin' in that Ghanaian forward and givin' him the chance to shine. The young fella's got game 
, no doubt about it! And City's record-breakin' win? That's just a testament to their dominance this season 
. Can't wait to see what's next for Semenyo and the team 
I'm so hyped about Antoine Semenyo's debut performance! He totally deserved that spotlight 
️. His goal and assist combo was pure magic 
. It's great to see a new face in the squad bringing energy and skill to the team. And let's be real, 10-1 is no joke 
! the way he scored that goal and provided an assist was just wow, and pep's praise doesn't surprise me either, the guy seems like a total pro 
! what i love most about this win is how it shows the squad's strength and depth, they're not just relying on haaland (although he did put in a solid first half 
). this 12-game unbeaten streak is insane, and with semenyo and the rest of the team pushing forward, the future looks super bright for city 
! I'm loving the City boss Pep Lijnders' comments about him being a "quick attacker" who doesn't stop running 
, he's definitely got something special. And 10-1 is just insane 
! Bring on that Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle, City are looking fierce 
it's supposed to be really good for you, but honestly I'm not sure if I'll be able to make a difference with my daily choices, like switching from regular milk or something... anyway back to football... I've always been fascinated by the Etihad Stadium, have you seen it in person? it looks so massive and modern, I wonder what it's like to watch a match there 
It was like a train wreck that you can't look away from 
Pep Lijnders must be so proud of him 
. He's just chillin', talking about how he learned from his teammates, and it's just so refreshing 
.
. The guy is going to be a fan favorite for years to come 
Semenyo is the ultimate underdog, and I couldn't be more stoked for him 
And what about Semenyo's debut? Was it just a coincidence that he got his chance right after Haaland's substitution? I'm thinking Pep Lijnders is trying to tell us something. Maybe City has a secret strategy to take down Arsenal and become the new Champions League champions...
. I was thinking how long it would take for someone like him to get a chance at City, and here he is making an impact from day one. That assist was sweet too 
he seems like a total game changer for city! 10-1 is crazy tho 
️. The fact that he brought a new level of energy and speed to the team really made a difference. And yeah, City's squad depth is insane – they just keep getting stronger 
.
... Pep Lijnders needs to give him more minutes ASAP 
. pep lijnders must see something special in him because he gave him so much playing time
