Semenyo speaks candidly about Arsenal after Manchester City closes the Premier League leaders' gap to 2 points.
On 1 March 2026, Antoine Semenyo, the key winger for Manchester City, gave an interview after last night's English Premier League match in which they narrowly defeated Leeds United 1-0 away. He was the hero scoring the winning goal for the "Sky Blues" during first-half injury time at 45+2 minutes.
After this match, Man City has 59 points, sitting second in the Premier League table, just 2 points behind leaders Arsenal, with both teams having played 28 matches. Tonight, the "Gunners" are scheduled to host Chelsea, who are currently sixth.
Antoine Semenyo spoke about Man City's win over Leeds United: "Certainly, it was a big game. Every match is important until the season ends. We just want to win as many as possible and keep applying pressure on Arsenal."
"(About Leeds United) They made it difficult for us, delivering many crosses. They have several players who are strong in the penalty area and good at aerial play. We had to challenge well, win the ball from them, then clear it out."
"(Regarding Ryan Et-Nouri's assist) I knew when he pushed forward, he would deliver a cross. So I moved forward, and the ball came right to me, so I tapped it in."
When asked if he would watch Arsenal's game against Chelsea, the Man City star replied, "I'm trying to relax, avoid watching anything, and rest. We'll see what happens."
