'He was frightening': Phil Foden praises Man City player who was doubted by fans after Arsenal game

Phil Foden was really impressed with Jeremy Doku in the 4-1 win against Aston Villa.

Foden said: "Very good. I thought he was frightening – he’s so dangerous one v one and helped us massively today to beat the full-back."

"He’s a fantastic talent and he’s only going to keep on getting better working under Pep as well. I’m delighted for him today – he performed really well."

Doku scored 5 goals and made 7 assists across 37 appearances in all competitions for Man City. Goals and assists are not the first things that come into mind when you talk about this young Belgian. Dribbling is what he is famous for and he is really good at it: Doku has made 110 dribbles, 61 of which were successful. Both stats put him above 99% of the players in the Premier League.

Many Man City fans doubted Doku's abilities because of his poor performance in the Arsenal game. However, the rhetoric has visibly changed after showing his best against Aston Villa.

What the fans say
