Only after a minute on the night, Semenyo grabbed the opener with a low shot into the bottom corner, and that strike proved to be the difference in what was a cagy affair between two good sides in England.

The goal was also the eighth of the season for Semenyo, matching his previous scoring tally for the previous campaign, and it was one that left the legendary Thierry Henry delighted with the Ghanaian’s performance.
