Semenyo's milestone, your three points
Antoine Semenyo hit 50 goal involvements in the Premier League on Saturday. His assist delivered the winner in the 1–0 win over Coventry City (1). Only one other Ghanaian, Tony Yeboah, has reached that mark (1).
It was not a classic, but it never needed to be. Three wins from three, top of the league.
