Jeremy Doku takes dig at Antony after clash during Manchester City’s win over Manchester United
Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday was a dominant display from Pep Guardiola’s side, with two goals from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden’s late strike sealing the victory for the Premier League champions.
Antony was brought on as a late substitute with City already three goals ahead and the Brazil international quickly lost his cool as he kicked out at Jeremy Doku on United’s right flank. Doku held up his finger at Antony, while Mateo Kovacic stepped in to diffuse the situation before the United winger was shown a yellow card by referee Paul Tierney.
And in a post on X after the game, Doku posted a picture of his clash with Antony alongside the message: ‘Stay calm. Manchester is blue.’ Gary Neville branded Antony ’embarrassing’ for his swipe at Doku, saying: ‘Doku’s absolutely right, Antony just has a kick at him. Absolutely right, Doku. United have lost their discipline. That’s absolutely ridiculous, I’d just send him off. It’s absolutely ridiculous from Antony, it’s embarrassing.’
The incident was yet another example of the heated rivalry between the two sides, and it is clear that Doku is not willing to let Antony forget his moment of madness anytime soon.
