Antoine Semenyo has taken to life seamlessly at Manchester City and is already beginning to repay the £62.5m fee handed to Bournemouth to sign him. Semenyo scored and provided an assist in a memorable debut in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, though that 10-1 trouncing came against League One side Exeter City. He then notched his second in as many games, scoring the opener inside the cauldron of St James' Park, helping City take control of their Carabao Cup semi-final against holders Newcastle. "I was in the right area to tap it in and we were victorious so I am happy," Semenyo said after the game. Semenyo is set for another milestone on Saturday if he makes his Premier League debut at Old Trafford in the Manchester derby.
