Doku eyes more goal involvements after Wolves assist | OneFootball

Jeremy Doku says he wants to continue contributing with goals and assists after playing a key role in City's crucial 1-0 Premier League victory over Wolves.

The winger set up Kevin De Bruyne for the game's only goal, with City moving up to third in the Premier League for at least 24 hours.

Doku was recalled to the team by Pep Guardiola for the visit of in-form Wolves and the winger certainly made the most of his opportunity, making more progressive actions (21), box entries (13), ball recoveries (5), and key passes (3) than any other player.

He also became the first player in the Premier League to complete 100 dribbles this campaign, and has now registered six goals and nine assists across all competitions.

WE'RE FINDING OUR GROOVE, SAYS DE BRUYNE

Reflecting on his most recent assist, Doku said: "I saw him [De Bruyne], he did well because the defenders were closing the front post for [Ilkay] Gundogan.

"I saw him there. That’s something that I’ve worked on. I’m in those positions a lot. I'm critical of myself and I have to do more in those situations.

"I know today I got an assist, but I think I can do even more. But I’m happy today for the assist.

"Obviously, we can’t win the Premier League anymore, but we want to try to win every game now and see where we end up.

"We have a final in the FA Cup. So, game by game, but we are going to prepare well for that as well."

The 22-year-old was also delighted to be the one to provide the assist for compatriot De Bruyne, who played his penultimate game at the Etihad Stadium for City.

When asked if he will be sad to see the captain leave at the end of the season, Doku said:

"Yeah of course, luckily I still play with him in the national team.

"Obviously I don’t need to explain how exceptional a player he is. Even today he showed it again.

"I saw he was free and obviously I like to give an assist to Kevin. So yeah I’m happy for him."
