Ghana international Antoine Semenyo scored and assisted in Manchester City’s 3-0 home win over Fulham in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Semenyo, who arrived at the Etihad Stadium in January, registered fifth goal and second assist in City colours as they thumped the London-based club at home.
Manchester City turned up the heat in the Premier League title race by taking apart Fulham in the first-half to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to just three points.
The Gunners are looking over their shoulders before Thursday's trip to Brentford after Pep Guardiola's side backed up Sunday's last-gasp comeback at Liverpool by sealing a comfortable three points at Etihad Stadium.
Three goals in the space of 15 first-half minutes inflicted the damage against the Cottagers, who have now suffered three consecutive defeats.
The quickfire sequence of goals began when visiting midfielder Sander Berge miscued a clearing header into the path of Antoine Semenyo who poked home from close range for his fifth goal in eight game since signing for City in January.
The Ghanaian then turned provider just six minutes later, sliding a pass onto the run of Nico O'Reilly to double the lead with a deft finish over the advancing Bernd Leno.
And City sealed the points before half-time as Phil Foden found the run of Erling Haaland, who drilled home an unerring finish low into the bottom corner.
Marco Silva's side will be ruing a missed opportunity by midfielder Harry Wilson, whose low strike at 1-0 down was batted away by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Semenyo has now scored 13 goals and provided four assists in 25 Premier League appearances in the ongoing season so far.
