Manchester City cruised to a 3-0 victory over Brentford, with winger Jeremy Doku delivering a standout performance. After the match, Doku spoke to BBC's Match of the Day about his goal, drawing comparisons to a previous strike. "Looks a bit like the one against Everton," Doku said. "We wanted to take short, the corner, I go past my man and then I look for the pass in between. The ball comes back and I'm inside the box and I feel I have space to shoot. I do it without thinking and I'm happy that it went in."

Manager Pep Guardiola also weighed in on the team's display, praising their focus and execution. He highlighted the importance of maintaining intensity throughout the match, especially against a Brentford side known for their resilience. Guardiola noted that the squad's depth and tactical discipline were key factors in securing the clean sheet and three points.

The win keeps City in strong form as they push through a busy schedule. Doku's growing confidence on the ball has added a new dimension to their attack, and his ability to create chances from tight spaces has become a valuable asset. Guardiola emphasized that the team cannot afford to relax, with tough fixtures ahead. For now, City fans have plenty to cheer about after another dominant home performance.
