If things had worked out differently, Jérémy Doku could have been lining up for Liverpool on Sunday, not against them. Poor Conor Bradley will have wished he was. The Liverpool right-back had one of his best games in a red shirt against Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jnr in the Champions League only five days earlier,

Daniel Sturridge has urged Jeremy Doku to add more goals to his game at Manchester City after his fine finish against Liverpool.

Jeremy Doku was the star as City beat the champions at the Etihad, but their win did not come without controversy

Virgil van Dijk thought he scored the equaliser before the break, but his header was disallowed after VAR determined Andrew Robertson, who was in an offside position, obstructed Gianluigi Donnarumma’s attempt to save the shot.

Doku's trickery earned City a penalty when he was fouled by Giorgi Mamardashvili although the goalkeeper got his own back by denying Erling Haaland from the spot. Haaland would not be denied though and powered City into the lead with a header.

It's a bit of why Haaland is great because Doku explained that he saw the space and trusted that someone would find their way into it. The inevitable Erling Haaland 🌟 A thunderous strike against his former club 🙏 pic.twitter.com/ylkTApTFbY

The biggest match of his career?Among Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki, Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitiké, and Florian Wirtz, few would have bet on Jérémy Doku to be the standout in the clash
