Bernardo Silva twice benefited from Doku’s work with a brace.
Jeremy Doku produced a stunning performance as champions Manchester City overcame the loss of Erling Haaland to thrash Bournemouth 6-1 on Saturday.
City, who are already without Kevin De Bruyne for a prolonged period, will hope the problem does not prove serious with games against Chelsea and Liverpool in the coming weeks.The feelgood factor Bournemouth generated by winning their first league game of the season last week quickly evaporated as City eased through the gears.
It was no surprise when the hosts finally took the lead, Doku picking up possession on the edge of the box and playing a one-two with Rodri before curling a shot around Radu. He ran off to celebrate as the ball found the bottom corner but he was forced to settle for a creator’s role again as replays showed a deflection off Akanji.
Solanke was unperturbed and rattled the frame of the goal with another effort on the hour but that served only to fire City back up.
