Guardiola hails 'remarkable' Doku following standout performance in Manchester City's victory over Brentford

Doku broke through Brentfords determined defence around the 60th minute at the Etihad Stadium with a superb shot into the upper corner.

This marked the Belgian wingers fourth goal across his most recent three matches for City in various competitions, featuring two brilliant strikes during a 3 3 stalemate against Everton on Monday.

Although Citys draw with Everton has removed control of the championship battle from their grasp, Doku helped maintain the challenge against table toppers Arsenal.

Pep Guardiolas squad trails the Gunners by two points, with Arsenal set to face struggling West Ham on Sunday.

Jeremy excels in numerous aspects. He appears as a polished performer already and certainly has room to grow, Guardiola commented.

He has always possessed this exceptional skill for dribbling and creating plays and links, which is remarkable.

Yet now it is about securing victories. I am truly delighted to have a player who injects vitality and delivers goals.

Arsenal can secure the championship by triumphing in their remaining three fixtures versus West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace.

We shall observe, it lies beyond our control. We will fulfil our duties. We fell short against Everton. We will execute our tasks and await developments, Guardiola stated.

We faced difficulties in the opening moments today but then delivered a strong performance. Particularly on the left flank during the first half, and both flanks in the second.

Guardiola admitted that Citys struggles to finish matches this season might ultimately cost them dearly.

Everton exemplified it perfectly, leading 3 1 and the emotions involved. We surrendered the second half. It occurred frequently last season, and though we are sturdier now, we still concede, he remarked.

That is the nature of football, it is about your response. I am satisfied with our approach.
