Jérémy Doku hit very hard during Manchester City’s 6-1 victory against Bournemouth on Saturday, with a goal and four assists on the clock!
Recruited for 60 million euros last August, to the great joy of Stade Rennais, Jérémy Doku has adapted perfectly to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. In the Catalan coach’s system, he wreaks havoc as an overflow winger. And the Belgian international exploded his statistics on Saturday during the visit of Bournemouth, scoring a goal and being credited with four assists during a big victory at the Etihad Stadium (6-1).
Doku first opened the scoring after half an hour of play (30th), for his third goal with his new team, before being involved in the following four goals: the 21-year-old winger served Bernardo Silva in full surface (33rd), saw his shot blocked by the back of Manuel Akanji, which is officially counted as a assist (37th), slipped the ball to Phil Foden for 4-0 (64th), before launching Bernardo Silva on the counterattack for the 5th Mancunian goal (83rd).
Luis Sinisterra (74th) saved the honor for the Cherries, 17th in the standings, and Nathan Aké concluded this offensive festival for the reigning champions (88th), who therefore did not need a goal from Erling Haaland this weekend, the 2nd in the 2023 Ballon d’Or having missed his opportunities before coming out at half-time.
Man City takes the lead in the PL standings with a one point lead while awaiting Tottenham’s match on Monday evening, against Chelsea at home. The Blues will also be City’s next opponent.
