Football result - Forward Antoine Semenyo left his mark on his first appearance for Man City, contributing to the team's overwhelming victory over Exeter City in the FA Cup third round.

Right after the kickoff, Man City quickly took control of the match and maintained constant pressure. In the 12th minute, from a corner kick, Max Alleyne scored accurately to give the home side the lead. Just over 10 minutes later, Rodri unleashed a powerful long-range shot to extend the lead to 2-0.

Pep Guardiola’s side kept up relentless attacking pressure, completely overwhelming Exeter.

In the 79th minute, Nico O’Reilly headed in a goal from a corner, increasing the score to 8-0. Ryan McAidoo then impressed with a precise long-range shot in the 86th minute. Exeter City managed a consolation goal in the 90th minute through a beautiful strike from outside the box by George Birch, but that was a rare highlight for the visitors.

During stoppage time, Rico Lewis completed the goal fest by scoring the tenth goal, sealing a crushing 10-1 win for Man City.
