Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has refused to rule Manchester City out of the Premier League title race despite the Sky Blues being held to a 2–2 draw by Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The result may have slowed City’s momentum, but the in-form forward insists the race for the title is far from over as the season heads into its decisive stages.
Semenyo, who joined Manchester City during the winter transfer window, has made an instant impact at the Etihad Stadium. The Ghanaian attacker has hit the ground running, scoring four goals in his appearances for the club so far. His growing influence was evident again against Spurs, where he found the back of the net in a fiercely contested encounter that saw City surrender a two-goal lead to settle for a share of the spoils.
The draw leaves Manchester City six points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, with the title race becoming increasingly intense. However, Semenyo remains upbeat about his team’s chances, pointing to the number of games still left to be played and the unpredictable nature of the Premier League.
“We’ve got more games, 14 to go. We’re six points behind [Arsenal], it’s not the end. We have to keep going. Anything can happen. 14 games to go, they might lose a couple and we might win. The dynamic changes and we have to see what happens…”
His comments reflect the belief within the City camp that the title challenge is still alive, especially given the club’s experience in navigating pressure-filled run-ins. With 14 matches remaining, there is ample time for momentum to shift as teams battle injuries, form fluctuations, and demanding schedules.
After 24 matches played this season, Arsenal sit at the top of the Premier League table with 53 points, while Manchester City occupy second place with 47 points. Semenyo’s confidence is further boosted by his personal form, having now scored 12 Premier League goals across spells with Bournemouth and Manchester City. This tally represents the most prolific top-flight season of his career to date.
As the campaign progresses, Semenyo will be aiming to maintain his scoring touch and play a key role in City’s pursuit of silverware, while continuing to raise his profile as one of Ghana’s standout performers in Europe.
