Omar Marmoush scores for Manchester City. This ends a period of suffering lasting eight months.
Omar Marmoush kissed his ring finger on his right hand and then slid on his knees towards the corner flag. A huge burden was clearly lifted from the Egyptian’s heart. After all, the Manchester City striker ended an almost eternal period of suffering with the 1-0 against Wolverhampton in the Premier League and initiated the 2-0 victory.
In the English league, the former Frankfurt player hadn’t celebrated a goal of his own for eight months! He last scored against Bournemouth in a 3-1 win. The match took place on May 20, 2025.
Omar Marmoush scored for Manchester City again
Since then, almost nothing had gone right for the right-footed player. Before his liberating strike on Saturday, he had only scored one goal this season. On October 29, Marmoush scored in the League Cup against second-tier club Swansea.
In Manchester City’s star-studded squad, there has been little room for the 26-year-old in recent months. He has only made 17 appearances so far this season. In the Premier League, Marmoush has only started three times and only got a chance against Wolverhampton because Erling Haaland was rested.
Marmoush the Loser of the Semenyo Transfer
With the signing of Antoine Semenyo, his chances of playing time recently diminished significantly. The new signing, incidentally, scored the 2-0 goal (45th+2).
“It was important to score a goal and help the team. I’m very happy to be here after the Africa Cup and to help my team. I saw Matheus Nunes break through on the outside, and it was a good finish. I’m happy about the goal and about the three points,” Marmoush said on Sky .
The attacker had run into a cross from the right with full conviction and scored with a volley from close range.
It remains to be seen how much momentum Marmoush will now gain.
