Overview

• Manchester City beat Burnley 5-1, with Jeremy Doku heavily involved in the attacking phases.
• Doku set up Erling Haaland’s first goal and forced the opening own goal from Maxime Esteve with a driving run and shot.
• Pep Guardiola said Doku’s choices in the final third have “improved like wow,” calling him an “incredible threat” against low blocks.
• The 23-year-old has three assists in his last three league games after questions over his end product in previous seasons.
• Competition for Doku’s place is expected to rise after the international break with Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki slated to return.
