What happened
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola publicly praised winger Jeremy Doku for elevating his game this season, telling City Xtra he is "so glad" the Belgian has embraced the responsibility to score and create impact rather than relying solely on one-against-one dribbling. Guardiola called Doku "amazing" and credited the player's mental shift toward end product as central to his improved output.
Why it matters
Doku's leap from raw dribbler to a genuine attacking threat matters with City trailing Arsenal in the Premier League title race with three matchweeks remaining. Guardiola has already conceded the title is now in Arsenal's hands, so City need their wide players producing goals and assists to maintain pressure and salvage a strong finish.
What to watch
Watch Doku's involvement and end product over City's final three Premier League fixtures, with Guardiola signaling he wants the home crowd to pressure the title race. Any further drop in points effectively hands the trophy to Arsenal.
