Manchester City Takes Premier League Lead With 6-1 Rout of Bournemouth, Doku Scores One, Assists Four

City reaches top Premier League position through impressive home game record, while striker Doku's performance draws attention despite Haaland's early withdrawal due to injury.

Manchester City secured a Premier League leadership position with a 6-1 triumph over Bournemouth, spotlighting Belgium's Jeremy Doku, who scored one goal and assisted four despite the early withdrawal of star striker Haaland due to injury.
The victory strengthens City's 100% home game record, putting pressure on Tottenham's upcoming match against Chelsea, and moves Arsenal to third place following a 1-0 loss at Newcastle.
Jeremy Doku, a recent $70 million acquisition from Rennes, demonstrated exceptional form, receiving praise from teammate Nathan Ake and manager Pep Guardiola for his game-changing abilities.
Haaland was substituted at halftime after a possible ankle twist, raising questions about his availability for City's upcoming Champions League match against Young Boys.
Despite the loss, Bournemouth remains one place and one point above the relegation zone.
