What happened
Fabrizio Romano highlighted Jeremy Doku's output across Manchester City's last four games: an assist against Burnley, a goal and assist against Southampton, two goals against Everton and a goal against Brentford. The latest return came in City's 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday, when Doku opened the scoring as Pep Guardiola's side kept pressure on Arsenal.
Why it matters
The run matters because Manchester City remain alive in the Premier League race, sitting two points behind Arsenal with three matches left after beating Brentford. Doku's surge also reinforces Guardiola's recent praise of his evolution into a more decisive attacker at a stage when every goal could swing the title.
