Doku’s push to witness his child’s birth tests World Cup priorities

Belgian winger Jeremy Doku said he hopes to be at the birth of his first child during the World Cup, sparking a backlash the piece argues is overblown. It asserts that being present for childbirth is a unique, deeply personal moment and that sport, while important, is a job that doesn’t demand an absence from such life events. The article acknowledges there are broader debates about athletes missing games for family moments but stresses that the decision is ultimately up to Doku and his partner, not the public consensus.

Doku Delivers for City as Rodri Absence Looms in Title Race

Manchester City swept Brentford aside 3-0 with Jeremy Doku the standout once again and Erling Haaland adding a late finisher, closing the gap to Arsenal to two points with three games remaining. Rodri’s groin injury has left City light in midfield ahead of key fixtures around the FA Cup final, heightening the sense that all eyes will now swing to Arsenal’s upcoming clash with West Ham as the title race tightens.

Late Doku strike salvages a point as City’s title hopes wobble after Everton thriller

Manchester City led 1-0 at Everton but collapsed in a 13-minute spell to a 3-3 draw, with Thierno Barry’s two goals and Jake O’Brien’s header turning the game before Haaland’s late strike and Doku’s stoppage-time equaliser. The result dents City’s title bid and leaves Arsenal in the driver’s seat, needing three wins from their final three games to clinch their first Premier League title since 2004. City have three league fixtures left, and Guardiola acknowledged the title is no longer entirely in his side’s hands, though there are still twists to come.

Doku’s curler gives City a halftime edge over Everton

Manchester City lead Everton 1-0 at halftime after Jeremy Doku’s curling finish in the 43rd minute, with City dominating possession but rarely testing Everton keeper Pickford. Everton pressed at times and had moments near the break, while City have made eight changes to the XI for this fixture. The broader Premier League table shows Arsenal top on 76 points with City close behind on 73, as Haaland remains among the league’s leading scorers and City chase a strong late run in the season.
