Jeremy Doku stole the show with a goal and four assists as Manchester City cruised to a 6-1 win over Bournemouth to record their fourth straight win in all competitions.
The Belgian winger opened the scoring with a stunning curled finish from the edge of the box, before laying on goals for Bernardo Silva and Manuel Akanji as the champions hit three goals in seven first-half minutes.
Doku’s heroics came as Erling Haaland was taken off at half-time after limping down the tunnel as the whistle went. But his replacement Phil Foden was the beneficiary of another Doku assist as he finished just after the break.
Luis Sinisterra scored his first Bournemouth goal in a consolation to make it 4-1 – but Bernardo added a fifth when he ran through and chipped Radu from another Doku pass, before former Cherries defender Nathan Ake got in on the act late on.
