Doku overshadows Haaland, Man City wins big against Bournemouth

Bournemouth struggled at the bottom of the table and were considered one of the top candidates for relegation. Playing at home and against such a weak opponent, Man City easily won with a big score in round 11 of the Premier League.

Jeremy Doku was the star of the show. The Belgian striker was involved in four of the defending champions' goals. The 21-year-old's quick and agile dribbling was an effective way for Man City to penetrate Bournemouth's crowded defence.

After half an hour of stalemate and mostly long-range shots, Man City scored with their 10th shot. Doku scored, opening up 7 minutes of brilliance for the home team.

Man City scored consecutively. Doku assisted Bernardo Silva with a simple shot in the box to double the gap. Then, Doku again took a shot that hit Manuel Akanji's back and changed direction into the goal.

Bournemouth completely collapsed after conceding 3 quick goals. The match became easy for Man City. Coach Pep Guardiola did not even need to use Erling Haaland in the second half and decided to take the Norwegian striker off early.

The goals kept coming for the defending champions. Doku continued to make his mark with two assists for Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva. In between the two celebrations from the Man City players was a goal that didn't mean much for Bournemouth, coming from Luis Sinistera.

Man City did not stop, even when coach Guardiola continued to withdraw key players. Nathan Ake sealed a 6-1 victory for the home team in the 84th minute with a close-range finish.
