Jérémy Doku’s high-grade blend of speed, fearlessness and creativity was Manchester City’s headline act in this procession of a win. The opening goal and assists in four of the five others helped secure a fourth consecutive victory for the champions (in all competitions) in a display that is the latest evidence of their transfer market mastery.
Pep Guardiola, who ended with Erling Haaland as an injury doubt, was delighted with Doku. “What surprised me the most is how clever he is when taking a decision, it’s really good,” the manager said. “He applies feedback immediately, he understands the game really well. I don’t want to change how he is, every game he has played he has played well, especially here at home.”
