Belgian winger of Ghanaian descent, Jeremy Doku, produced a brilliant solo goal as Manchester City secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
The win was a crucial one for Pep Guardiola’s side, putting an end to a four-match winless streak in the league.
With Kevin De Bruyne making his first Premier League start since mid-September, City looked re-energized and back to their best at the Etihad Stadium.
The Citizens wasted no time asserting their dominance. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring in the eighth minute with a well-timed header, meeting De Bruyne’s perfectly placed cross. The Belgian playmaker then added his own name to the score sheet in the 37th minute, doubling City’s lead with a trademark clinical finish.
As the match neared the hour mark, it was Doku who stole the spotlight. Receiving a pass from Erling Haaland, the pacey winger weaved past Forest defender Nikola Milenković and blasted an unstoppable shot into the net, showcasing his exceptional skill and growing confidence.
The goal marked another milestone for Doku, who now boasts two goals and two assists in 10 appearances for Manchester City in the Premier League.
