Man City goalscorer Doku: More to come from me; Coufal offered great battle

Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku was delighted scoring in victory over West Ham.

The Hammers had the lead through James Ward-Prowse before City fought back to win 3-1 via goals from Doku, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland.

Doku, who was named Man of the Match, later said: "It means a lot. A lot. Especially after their goal.

"I wanted to do something back, something good, and I scored and helped the team and I'm happy for that.

"I think we reacted very well. We had a lot of chances in the first-half without scoring but we kept on going. They scored a goal, I had bad touch, so I was disappointed.

"We reacted well and kept on playing and after that we scored three goals and had a good game.

"I enjoyed it [against Vladimir Coufal]. I had a lot of one on ones, the coach knows i'm good at that.

"We go for one on ones. I tried to do it and it worked. I enjoyed the game against him."

Doku also said: "He [manager Pep Guardiola] said the first game I was a little bit shy, and now I'm not, and I agree.

"I showed a little bit more today of what I'm capable of. I was less shy today.

"I'm not realising yet but I'm enjoying it a lot. It's a big moment for me and my family.

"Hopefully we can win a lot of games and trophies and I can score a lot of goals."
