Speaking after the stalemate, Doku did not hide his disappointment but was quick to send a message of defiance to the north London side.
"It hurts, obviously it hurts," Doku said. "We know how important it is to win those types of games, we did not give up, and we are not going to give up. There are still some games, we are going to fight until the end and at the end we will count the points."
The Belgian international’s brace was a rare bright spark on a night where City’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed, but he believes the squad’s mentality will be the deciding factor. He added: "[We are] disappointed but it is not over, we are not going to give up."
