Doku scored 'really top goals' in 'really good game' - Guardiola

Manchester City manager Guardiola gave high praise on Saturday to striker Doku for his performance against Everton, describing his two goals as 'really, really top class.'

Doku's brace secures City victory

The match proved to be a goal fest, with City ultimately crushing Everton 6-0. Doku displayed exceptional individual quality throughout, finding the net twice. Speaking after the match, Guardiola made little effort to hide his admiration, saying: 'Doku's two goals were truly outstanding, exceptional quality. It was a really brilliant game.'

Title race tightens

• Doku scored 2 goals in the match
• Final scoreline: 6-0
• City now trails Arsenal in the standings

Yet behind this dominant victory lay a sobering reality for City's Premier League title hopes. Following their intense rivalry with Arsenal this season, City has fallen further behind in the championship race, making their title defence increasingly precarious. The team must maintain consistent performances in upcoming fixtures to reverse the deficit in the final stretch.

Guardiola acknowledged the unprecedented challenge facing the squad this season but remained confident in his players' ability. At least this victory injected some much-needed momentum into the campaign.
