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

He has scored in three successive appearances in all competitions for the first time in his Manchester City career.

His performance was widely praised, with MOTD pundit Ashley Williams saying it is "the best we have seen of Jeremy Doku". The former Wales international defender added: "From a defender's point of view, I am not sure I would know how to stop him.
