Jeremy Doku was the standout performer in Manchester City’s 3–0 victory over Liverpool, producing a display so dominant that Gary Neville broke his own tradition by naming him Man of the Match unusually early.
The Belgian winger caused constant problems for Liverpool’s defence, repeatedly beating Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konaté with his pace and direct dribbling. Fresh from an impressive showing against Borussia Dortmund, Doku continued his explosive form, unlike Mohamed Salah, who struggled on the night.
City took control through Erling Haaland’s looping header and a deflected goal from Nico González before Doku sealed the win in spectacular fashion — cutting inside and curling a stunning strike into the top corner. His performance was so impressive that Neville awarded him Man of the Match after just 62 minutes, saying he had “never done that so early.”
Since joining Manchester City in 2023, Doku has battled injuries, but staying fit this season has allowed him to become one of Pep Guardiola’s key players. Fans on social media praised him as one of the best wingers in the world, calling him “unplayable” and even worthy of Ballon d’Or-level recognition. Analysts echoed that sentiment, highlighting his exceptional dribbling stats and constant threat.
City’s victory lifts them back to second place in the Premier League, and if Doku maintains this form, he could be crucial in their title chase.
