'He Has Been Unbelievable Since He Arrived' – Guardiola Delights in Semenyo’s Rapid Impact as City See Off Wolves

Pep Guardiola praised Antoine Semenyo after Manchester City beat Wolves 2-0 at the Etihad, ending a winless run and responding to Arsenal’s momentum. The January signing was the standout performer, doubling City’s lead just before half-time with a finish and leading press with energy.

Guardiola said, “I’m really pleased for him… Since he arrived, he has been unbelievable,” adding that the goal “looks easy, but the control is perfect—passing the ball into the net.” He noted that Semenyo created other chances and “even hit the crossbar,” insisting an effort means his “real” tally is higher.

At the back, Marc Guéhi impressed on his home debut following a move from Crystal Palace, offering leadership and calm. Guardiola remarked, “The captain of Crystal Palace has to be something special… Good players adapt quickly and understand the game.”
