Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo cameos as Bristol City lose to West Brom in Championship

Published on: 28 December 2022

Ghana striker Antoine Semenyo was in action for Bristol City in their 2-0 defeat to lose to West Bromwich Albion  in the English Championship.

Semeny climbed off the bench in the 79th minute to replace Alex Jay Scott but could not help his side snatch a point at Ashton Gate.

West Brom took the lead through Matt Phillips who was sent clear down the left to fire in a ninth-minute opener.

Substitute Brandon Thomas-Asante then came off the bench to score the second with a sublime left-foot chip on the run, just 11 minutes after coming on for Daryl Dike.

It was a first defeat in four games for former Albion assistant manager Nigel Pearson's City, who now lie 18th in the Championship - five points behind the Baggies.

Semenyo represented Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the Black Stars exited the group stage after finishing bottom of their group.

He has made 21 appearances, scored four goals and provided one assist for Bristol City this season.
