Champions League: Jeremy Doku Leads Man. City To Beat RB Leipzig

 

Manchester City claimed a much needed victory and refuted a comeback from RB Leipzig to win 3-1 and took the leading spot of the group table. 

Phil Foden put the side ahead with a tap in of Rico Lewis' cut-back and the Germans responded with the equalizer soon after halftime after Lois Openda latching onto a through pass from Yussuf Poulsen and steered the ball to pass Ederson. 

City later regained the lead in the later stages of the game with Jeremy Doku setting off Julian Alvarez for the shot from the edge of the box to beat Janis Blaswich to the goal. 

Doku later completed the scores with the winner after Alvarez setting him off for a counter and steered the ball past Blaswich for the third goal. 

The victory ended City's five consecutive winless run in away draws in n the competition. It also followed their shock 2-1 lost over the weekend to Wolverhampton. 

Quick Over View of the Game

Satisfactory outcome for Pep Guardiola side for having recovered winning streak and refuted a stalemate with RB Leipzig to get the victory they deserved. 

The German initially proved to be resilience and capable of stunning City, until the game took a new turn from Doku's brilliant finish in injury time. 

Lewis made effective use of his wing to pull off that pass that brought the lead goal. Foden, as often, kept the attack enforced whilst the German kept Haaland in check. 

Since Kevin de Bruyne remained out of play over injury, City still missed having him on the pitch. Nevertheless, Jack Grealish remained as vibrant as always. 

Furthermore, bringing in Doku proved resourceful for City. With Akanji already booked, Doku came and not only facilitated the Alvarez's goal but pulled off the winner.
