With three goals and an assist in February, the forward earned his maiden POTM award, becoming the first Man City player other than Erling Haaland to win it since Raheem Sterling in December 2021
Tony Yeboah of Leeds United in March and September 1995, and Andre Ayew of Swansea City in August 2015 - that was a tally of Ghanaian players when it comes to the Premier League Player of the Month award. Until today.
As of this day, Antoine Semenyo joins the company of the two renowned strikers, as he is officially the February EPL Player of the Month.
Perfect start to life at @ManCity 🩵

Manchester City forward found the net three times during the second month of the years, in victories against Tottenham, Fulham, and provided an assist against the Cottagers, which was enough to beat a harsh competition of his teammate Nico O'Reilly, Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal), Dango Outtara (Brentford), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), and Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United).
Semenyo became the second Cityzens player to earn the award this season, alongside Erling Haaland, who won it in September. However, the Ghanaian is also the first Man City player other than the Norwegian to win it since Raheem Sterling in December 2021.
Apart from the duo from Etihad Stadium, Jack Grealish (Everton), Bryan Mbeumo (Manchester United), Igor Thiago (Brentford) twice, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds) have been the EPL POTM laureates.
This way, Semenyo's award capped Man City's double triumph in February, as Pep Guardiola was named Manager of the Month for the first time since December 2021.
