Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo has opened up on the inspiration behind his viral guitar celebration following his goal in Manchester City’s crucial victory over Leeds United at Elland Road.
The 26-year-old continues to shine in the Premier League, delivering consistent performances for the title contenders. Semenyo netted his fourth goal in seven league matches as City reduced the gap at the top of the table to just two points.
The decisive moment came just before halftime when Semenyo expertly slid home a pinpoint cross from Rayan Aït-Nouri, securing all three points for Pep Guardiola’s side in a tightly contested encounter.
However, it was his post-goal celebration that captured the attention of fans worldwide. After finding the net, Semenyo mimicked playing a guitar a celebration that quickly went viral across social media.
Speaking after the game, the Ghana international revealed the celebration was inspired by his close friends.
“A few friends said I should do something funny if I scored, so it’s the first thing that came up in my head,” Semenyo explained.
“Nice guitar, good performance, the crowd loved it — and that’s it.”
The victory ensures Manchester City remain firmly in the Premier League title race, keeping pressure on leaders Arsenal, who are set to face Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.
Semenyo also emphasized the importance of the win and City’s mindset heading into the final stretch of the season.
“It means everything to close the gap,” he said.
“We just want to win all our games on our side and whatever Arsenal do we’ll have to wait and see.
We have to control what we can control.”
With his confidence soaring and form peaking at the right time, Semenyo could play a key role in Manchester City’s push for silverware this season.
