New Manchester City signing Antoine Semenyo scored his second goal in as many games as Pep Guardiola’s team moved within reach of the English League Cup final with a 2-0 win over Newcastle on Tuesday.

Semenyo also scored on his debut in the 10-1 rout of Exeter in the FA Cup over the weekend.
“The whole environment here is perfect,” he said. “Everyone is confident and wanting to achieve the best. I’ve just come into that and they’ve helped me with my confidence and they’ve made me feel welcome.”
