Soccer-Marmoush and Semenyo score in City's first league win in nearly a month

By Lori Ewing

MANCHESTER, England, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Goals from Omar Marmoush and Antoine Semenyo powered Manchester City to a much‑needed 2‑0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, lifting Pep Guardiola's men provisionally to within four points of leaders Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

City's first league win in nearly a month has them with 46 points after 23 games, while the misery continued for Wolves, who are last in the table on eight points, 14 points from safety. Arsenal can restore their seven-point cushion with a win over Manchester United on Sunday.

Starting ahead of Erling Haaland in his first league action since the Africa Cup of Nations, Marmoush put City on the scoresheet in the sixth minute with his first league goal of the season, firing home Matheus Nunes's cross.

Semenyo, signed two weeks ago from Bournemouth, doubled City's lead in first-half injury time with his first league goal for the club, when Bernardo Silva found him on his right. Semenyo took a touch to set up his shot before unleashing a blistering low shot past Jose Sa.
