Once again brilliant against Liverpool this Saturday, Jérémy Doku set a record for successful dribbles in the Premier League.
Surprise recruit from Manchester City during the 2023 summer transfer window, Jeremy Doku impresses match after match. Beyond an interesting statistical record (4 goals, 6 assists), the Belgian international tortures defenses with his speed and his ability to eliminate one on one, giving the Cityzens a different profile from their other wingers, notably Jack Grealish, regularly criticized for his tendency to play too much behind.
A dribbling record
11 – Jérémy Doku completed 11 dribbles during #MCILIV, the highest total in a Premier League match since September 2021 (Adama Traoré against Brentford, also 11). This is also the record for a player in a match against Liverpool in the PL (since 2006/07). Cheatcode. pic.twitter.com/ejdzrRJfEQ

This Saturday is Liverpool who had all the difficulties in the world to contain the former Rennais. On his left side, Doku was untenable throughout the entire match, often failing most of the Reds defenders, especially Alexander-Arnold. An impression confirmed by Opta Jeanwho claims that the 21-year-old winger completed 11 dribbles (out of 15 attempted), equaling the record held by Adama Traroé since the 2006-2007 season.
