Ahead of the meeting with our cross-city rivals, the Club were devastated to learn of Hatton, an icon of British boxing and one of the Blues’ most loved and revered supporters’, passing.
During the clash between Pep Guardiola and Ruben Amorim’s teams, dazzling winger Doku starred in City’s 3-0 home success with the Belgium international collecting two assists.
He danced to the touchline and clipped a cross for Phil Foden to head home in the first half before feeding Erling Haaland shortly after the break for the Norwegian’s first of two strikes.
