Jeremy Doku named in Premier League team of the week

Belgian-born Ghanaian winger Jeremy Doku has been named in Sofascore's Premier League Team of the Week following his brilliant performance in Manchester City's 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, August 18, 2024.

Doku, who played the full 90 minutes, was a standout on the right flank. The 21-year-old contributed with two shots, 84 percent pass accuracy, one chance created, and an impressive 60 touches. Defensively, he made eight recoveries, won 11 duels, and maintained a perfect tackle success rate.

Manchester City began their title defense in commanding fashion with Erling Haaland opening the scoring in his 100th appearance for the club, thanks to a clever assist from Bernardo Silva.

Although Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson had an equalizer disallowed for offside, City's dominance was sealed by Mateo Kovacic’s composed finish late in the game. Doku’s dynamic play on both ends of the pitch was pivotal, earning him a well-deserved spot among the week's top performers in the Premier League.
