"Doku's move was for me the star of the weekend, as the Belgian winger executed one of his most memorable, merciless, and effective shimmies to utterly flabbergast Luke Shaw and set up Phil Foden for the opening goal in Sunday's Manchester Derby. The match ended in a 3-0 City win, and stands as solid evidence both that United still has not yet hit rock bottom, and that Doku has not yet hit his talent's ceiling."
"The wiggle itself-even if, as mentioned above, it was a particularly delectable example of one-is nothing new. Doku is famous for his explosive dribbling, and anyone who knows anything about him knows that that little leg-and-hip wag, followed by a flick of the outside of his right foot and a warp-speed lunge rightward, is his favorite weapon in his limited but no less effective armory."
Jérémy Doku performed a memorable shimmy that outfoxed Luke Shaw and set up Phil Foden's opening goal in Manchester City's 3-0 win in the Manchester Derby. The move featured a leg-and-hip wag, a flick of the outside of his right foot, and a warp-speed lunge rightward. The action began unusually right-of-center in midfield rather than Doku's typical left-wing position near the touchline. Doku usually receives cross-field passes and uses explosive 1-v-1 or 1-v-2 dribbling to zip into the penalty area, often beating multiple opponents. The goal underlined both Doku's growing impact and Manchester United's continued struggles.
