Manchester City defeated Luton Town 5-1 over the weekend, with one player, Jeremy Doku, setting a Premier League season record for the most touches in the opposition box. This victory put pressure on City’s title challengers Liverpool and Arsenal, who both lost their home games the following day. City now sits at the top of the Premier League table, with the fate of the title in their hands, and fans are hopeful for a double Treble.

Doku’s performance against Luton was praised as “brilliant” by Micah Richards on Match of the Day. His direct style of play and ability to carry the ball led to him setting a Premier League record with 23 touches in the opposition box in a single match. This record demonstrates Doku’s skill and impact on the field, as well as his ability to strike fear into defenders.

The Belgian forward, who was signed for £55 million, is expected to play an important role for City in the coming weeks, especially in situations where the team may struggle to break down the opposition. Doku’s X-factor and ability to create scoring opportunities make him a valuable asset for the team as they continue their title bid in the Premier League.
