Antoine Semenyo emerged as the hero of the FA Cup final as Chelsea faced off against Manchester City. His solitary goal proved decisive, securing the trophy and marking a significant moment in Ghanaian football history.
The striker’s goal delivered a narrow victory for his team in a tense showdown, a moment that resonated far beyond the match’s outcome. It represented not just a win but also a personal milestone for Semenyo.
Semenyo’s strike in the final was his 20th goal across all competitions this season, setting a new record for the most goals scored by a Ghanaian player representing an English Premier League club in a single season.
The previous record was held by Tony Yeboah, who scored 19 goals for Leeds during the 1995/96 season. This milestone, which stood for three decades, has now been surpassed by Semenyo.
