After Man City dropped two crucial points in a breathtaking 3-3 draw with Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night, ending a six-game winning run in all competitions, Doku was the only silver lining from the club’s poor performance.
With a record of seven goals and 14 assists in 42 appearances in all competitions, Doku has been one of City’s main attacking outlets this season after a mixed start to life at the club.
After bagging a brace against the Toffees, many were also impressed by Doku helping in every area of the pitch including in defence.
Guardiola was asked about the change and suggested that the improvement is down to him in what is a change many fans have noticed.
"The manager always. When the player play good it is thanks to the manager. When they play bad, it is because of them," Guardiola told reporters.
"I am so glad. I am so glad that he makes this step and an impact, one on one. But not just the goals and assists, he was still pushing defensively. Jeremy has been amazing this season.”
City’s Premier League title hopes are hanging in the balance as Brentford visit the Etihad this weekend. Guardiola must win to keep his title hopes alive as he looks to the likes of Doku to lead the side at both ends of the pitch.
