Doku was the catalyst for Manchester City’s victory at the Etihad, opening the scoring with a brilliant individual effort before Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush made the points safe. Speaking after the match, the winger reflected on the moment he broke the deadlock against a stubborn Brentford defence that had frustrated the hosts for an hour.
“Looks a bit like the one against Everton, we wanted to take short, the corner, I go past my man and then I look for the pass in between, the ball comes back and I’m inside the box and I feel I have space to shoot and I do it without thinking and I’m happy that it went in,” Doku told BBC’s Match of the Day.
