Manchester City <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/11/04/jeremy-doku-stars-as-manchester-city-hit-sorry-bournemouth-for-six-in-premier-league/" target="_blank">destroyed Bournemouth 6-1</a> in a painfully one-sided Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Belgium international Jeremy Doku enjoyed a starring role with one goal and four further assists as he extended his fast start to life as a City player. Bernardo Silva also continued his good form with two goals, the second of which, a stunning individual effort, was undoubtedly the goal of the game. Manuel Akanji got his first City goal - not that he knew much about it - as Doku's shot deflected in off his backside. Substitute Phil Foden got in on the act and Nathan Ake completed the scoring with a diving header. Luis Sinisterra grabbed a consolation goal for the visitors. The one black mark for City was the withdrawal of Erling Haaland at half-time with a fitness concern. The victory moved the defending champions to the top of the table, one point ahead of Tottenham, who face Chelsea in their game in hand on Monday night.
