City, who were without league-leading scorer Erling Haaland, were made to work at Elland Road, but the victory took Pep Guardiola’s side to 59 points. Arsenal, who have also played 28 games, host Chelsea on Sunday as the title race tightens.
Leeds had the better first-half chances, including a couple of near-misses by Dominic Calvert-Lewin, before Semenyo scored his sixth goal for City in first-half injury time.
Rayan Ait-Nouri was sent through on the left side of the box and Semenyo slid to touch home his square ball from close range.
