It is important to remember that Bradley completely nullified the threat of Vinicius Junior recently when Real Madrid visited Anfield last week.

But the Liverpool youngster had no answer how to deal with Doku, who perhaps had his best game for City on Sunday.

Despite Doku being a nightmare for Bradley, Guardiola praised the Liverpool youngster after the match.

‘[Doku] had an outstanding game against one of the best full-backs in the Premier League,’ Guardiola said after the match, as reported by Metro.

As per the match report on Sky Sports, Doku received the highest rating of all the players on the pitch at the Etihad on Sunday.

The Belgian winger was given a rating of 9/10 for his brilliant performance against Arne Slot’s side.

Doku always had potential but this season, he has added end product and thought behind his movement and his passes.
