'The goals are coming' - is Doku keeping Man City in title race?

"Doku’s goal opened the scoring against the stubborn Bees, cutting inside and curling in a delightful finish just as he did to rescue a last-gasp draw at Everton on Monday. The 23-year-old has now scored four important goals in his past three games - the strike against Brentford, the double at Hill Dickinson Stadium and his effort against Southampton to help City into the FA Cup final. In fact, he has seven goal involvements in his past six games - with five goals complemented by two assists - as many as in his previous 24."

""If you want to become a better player, you have to win games for yourselves," said boss Pep Guardiola. "It is not enough to make good crosses for the other ones, you have to win games and score goals. "At Everton, the goal for 3-3 was the right [foot], but the first goal was the left. He made an incredible step in that sense to say 'I'm Jeremy Doku, I'm going to win games'. The big players always have that mentality.""

""I'm an instinct player. Today it's working out. I scored some goals, I've always played with instinct but now the goals are coming. "I haven't been a different player." Manchester City's challenge may depend on Doku continuing to produce moments of brilliance to drag his side towards the finish line. He has scored in three successive appearances in all competitions for the first time in his Manchester City career."

"On Saturday, the winger gave Michael Kayode a taxing time, twisting the Brentford full-back inside and out throughout the game, and he could have scored in the opening two minutes but was thwarted by Caoimhin Kelleher."

Doku has delivered decisive attacking contributions for Manchester City, including a goal against Brentford that opened the scoring with a cut inside and curling finish. He also scored in a last-gasp draw at Everton and added further goals, including a double and an effort against Southampton that helped City reach the FA Cup final. Over his past three games, he scored four important goals, and over his past six games he recorded seven goal involvements with five goals and two assists. Pep Guardiola emphasized that wingers must win games and score goals, not only provide crosses. Doku described himself as an instinctive player whose goals are now coming, while City’s challenge may rely on continued brilliance.
