MANCHESTER CITY have discovered a “cheat code” that is wreaking havoc on Premier League defenses.

Manager Pep Guardiola’s simple tactical change has helped new player Jeremy Doku thrive on the left wing.

Jeremy Doku is Man City’s new ‘cheat code’

Doku got four assists versus Bournemouth

The 21-year-old came from Rennes in a £55 million summer transfer and has already made an impression with his remarkable performances.

Doku ripped Bournemouth to tears with four assists and one goal in yesterday’s 6-1 thrashing.

It created a new record for the league’s youngest player to provide four assists and contribute five goals in a single game.

He has made 12 appearances for Manchester City so far and admits it is “so easy” for him to create chances for his teammates.

The winger’s bursts of speed and cunning have terrified opponents, and Guardiola is making the most of him.

When it comes to winger placement, the manager has high expectations, wanting them to get one-on-one with their full-back, and here is where Doku shines.

He frequently widens his stride to receive the ball and slows down as he approaches the defender.

Doku’s rapid acceleration and ability to go either way confound opponents as he abruptly accelerates up.

He admitted that he occasionally waits for the opponent to make a mistake before springing past.

Doku described one of his assists against Bournemouth as follows: “I didn’t know which side I was going to go, so I did a body movement, and then depending on where the defender would go, I went the other way.”

He was man of the match against Bournemouth

The “cheat code” is then aided because the Belgian frequently has multiple players to choose from in the box.

When approaching right-backs, his change of pace demonstrates his acceleration while also allowing his teammates to catch up with the attack and flood the penalty area.

Doku’s job is simple: roll the ball across the goal to world-class players prepared to smash it home.

Doku’s assist for Bernardo Silva’s opening goal against Bournemouth exemplifies this.

He spins Chris Mepham inside out before passing to the Portuguese midfielder, who finishes.

Later in the game, he did the same thing to set up Phil Foden’s goal.

Max Aarons of Bournemouth is concerned that Doku may pass him by, so he backs off and gives him time to pick a pass to a teammate in a shooting position.

It was identical to his assist against Brighton two weeks ago, when he handed the Seagulls a nightmare afternoon.

Doku goes past Pascal Gross and to the byline, where he brings it back inside for Julian Alvarez to score.

If passing is not an option, the skilled star may take the shot at himself.

Doku punished West Ham’s Vladimir Coufal for failing to close him down, bending an attempt beyond Alphonse Areola in goal to inspire a comeback triumph.

Doku has become Man City’s most creative force with Kevin De Bruyne out injured, and he is practically impossible to stop with their silky passing out to him.

Fans adore his one-on-one abilities, with one fan saying, “Doku is a cheat code; how on Earth did we let Pep get his hands on him?”

Another person commented, “Doku a cheat code; a man said the left-wing was too easy.”
