Antoine Semenyo was left in disbelief after having a goal controversially chalked off during Manchester City’s 2-0 win against Newcastle.The Citizens have one foot in the Carabao Cup final as they outclassed the Magpies in the semi-final first leg at St James’ Park on Tuesday night.Semenyo was once again on target for City in their 2-0 away win at NewcastleGettyIt was Semenyo who scored the opening goal of the match – tapping home from close range following a Bernardo Silva flick-on in the 53rd minute.The 26-year-old has now found the back of the net in both of his outings under Pep Guardiola since joining from Bournemouth in a £62.5million deal.In doing so, he has become the first City player since Emmanuel Adebayor in August 2009 to score in his opening two games for the club.But then came the major talking point of the match, as Semenyo thought he had doubled the visitors’ lead ten minutes later.VAR-cicalAn inswinging corner from Tijjani Reijnders was expertly tucked home by Semenyo, who improvised with a backheel flick on the volley.However, after nearly six minutes of deliberation, the goal was chalked off for an offside on Erling Haaland with referee Chris Kavanagh was urged to go to the pitchside monitor.Despite being fractionally behind Malick Thiaw, he was adjudged to have been impacting the defender’s ability to play the ball.Fortunately for City, the decision didn’t have an impact on the game, as Rayan Cherki slotted home in the eighth minute of stoppage time to see them take a two-goal lead back to the Etihad Stadium on February 4.Semenyo though was still feeling aggrieved as he made his way off the pitch following the full-time whistle, as he spoke directly into a camera to give his thoughts.He simply said: “Second goal should have counted by the way.
