That’s the Jeremy Doku Manchester City fans have been waiting for

In the 82nd minute of Manchester City’s 3-2 win over Fulham, a moment arrived that Manchester City fans had been waiting for. Jeremy Doku cut inside from the left wing. It’s a move he has performed countless times before. The Belgian winger then shimmied past one helpless Fulham defender. He then unleashed an unstoppable shot past Bernd Leno to give City a 3-1 lead. His goal would prove crucial to City’s hard-fought win. But the challenge for Doku now is to make that moment a consistent feature of his game.

Jeremy Doku is a player that can both dazzle and frustrate. That’s the nature of the way the dynamic winger plays. It was on show yesterday at the Etihad Stadium before his wonder goal. Twice he over-hit balls to Phil Foden. It’s frustrating, but that’s just the way of the Belgian international. But the hope is now that moments like his goal yesterday can happen more often. Doku has the talent to pull off such feats more often than not.

Doku’s talent is such that if he can become a consistent player he could become one of the best wingers in world football. He must improve his end product and decision-making to reach that level. Doku has the tools required to reach such a high standing in the game. His goal yesterday is proof of that. The challenge is there for the winger to get to that level.

At only 22 years of age Doku does have time on his side to reach that level. He just has to make moments like the one yesterday at the Etihad a regular occurrence. The end product was there in spectacular fashion. If he can improve it in every aspect of his play the sky is the limit for what Doku can become as a player.
