Manchester City secured a vital 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, with Erling Haaland’s early goal proving decisive.
Haaland, returning from injury, netted his 20th Premier League goal of the season in the 12th minute, converting a deflected cross from Jeremy Doku.
Speaking after the game, the Norwegian praised teammate the Belgian-Ghanaian for his output and said he should have had more assists.
“Yeah I think Jeremy (Doku) did a really good game and he should have had more assists today. It was a great goal and good to get the ball from Jeremy.
“It’s not easy to know when to get the ball, it was lucky as well with the deflection there.”
Jeremy Doku has been an asset for Manchester City this season. His pace and agility have added a new dimension to the team’s attack.
In the current season, Doku has recorded seven assists and six goals across 25 games in all competitions.
The victory propels Manchester City back into the Premier League’s top four, amassing 47 points from 27 matches.
With 11 games remaining, the team is poised to finish the season strongly, especially with key players like Haaland and Doku in top form.
Looking ahead, Manchester City is set to face Plymouth Argyle in the fifth round of the FA Cup on March 1, followed by a Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest on March 8.
