Phil Foden vows Manchester City is determined to keep pressure on Arsenal
Arsenal Football Newsletter
Antoine Semenyo has warned Arsenal that Manchester City stars will not be celebrating their FA Cup win before a vital Premier League match.
Man City have completed the second part of a potential domestic cup treble after beating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, adding the FA Cup to their Carabao Cup success from a little under eight weeks ago.
Attentions now shift back to the Premier League title race where City trail Arsenal by two points with only two games remaining.
The Gunners will have the chance to move one step closer to clinching the title on Monday night when they host already-relegated Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.
In fact, if Arsenal beat Burnley and then Man City fail to pick up three points away at Bournemouth around 24 hours later then Mikel Arteta’s side will be crowned champions of England for the first time in 22 years.
However, Semenyo, who scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final, has insisted celebrations have been put on hold as Man City aim to take the Premier League title race into the final day of the season.
"I don't think there will be much celebrations tonight it is getting ready for Tuesday,” Semenyo told BBC Sport.
“Just train the same way we have been training and hopefully the results fall in our hands, so we just have pray that happens.”
Man City have won both domestic cup competitions this season
The FA Cup is the second trophy Semenyo has won at Man City following his move from Bournemouth in the January transfer window.
"It has happened a couple of times in training - it happened perfectly today,” he added when discussing his improvised finish to break the deadlock in the Wembley showpiece.
"Everything happened so fast to be honest. It came straight to me and I had to improvise myself as quickly as I can.
