Jeremy Doku has fired a defiant warning to Premier League leaders Arsenal, insisting Manchester City will "fight until the end" in the title race despite a dramatic setback on Monday night.
The Belgian winger was the hero at Hill Dickinson Stadium, scoring a sublime first-half opener and then rescuing a point with a stunning 97th-minute equaliser to secure a 3-3 draw against Everton. It was a performance that showcased exactly why City fans have been buzzing about his explosive style all season.
City looked in control after Doku's curling effort found the top corner before halftime, but a chaotic second-half collapse—sparked by a defensive mix-up between Marc Guéhi and Gianluigi Donnarumma—saw Everton storm into a 3-1 lead. Erling Haaland pulled one back, but it was Doku's late rocket from distance that truly saved the day.
The result leaves Pep Guardiola's side trailing Arsenal by five points, though City hold a game in hand with a handful of fixtures remaining. The math is simple: Mikel Arteta's Gunners now control their own destiny, and City may need favors from other clubs to reclaim their trophy on the final day.
But don't tell that to Doku. Speaking after his individual masterclass, the 21-year-old struck a remarkably confident tone. "We did not give up, and we are not going to give up," he said. "There are still some games, we are going to fight until the end and at the end we will count the points. Disappointed but it is not over."
City now face a grueling schedule of five matches in just 15 days, starting with a home clash against Brentford, all while balancing preparations for the FA Cup Final against Chelsea. It's a test of depth, stamina, and mental toughness—qualities that have defined Guardiola's champions in recent years.
For fans looking to channel that fighting spirit, now is the perfect time to gear up in Manchester City's latest kits and training wear. Whether you're watching from the stands or your living room, show your support as the Blues push for glory on multiple fronts.
