Jeremy Doku turned the tide for Manchester City as a substitute, helping his side to a commanding 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League.
Speaking on Match of the Day, pundits Wayne Rooney and Toby Alderweireld praised the Belgian winger's impact after he came off the bench, with both analysts crediting Doku as the decisive influence in City's dominant display.
Rooney and Alderweireld described Doku as a "big star," pointing to how his introduction shifted the momentum of the match in Manchester City's favour and left Liverpool's defence struggling to cope.
The result marks a significant statement from Manchester City, who silenced Anfield with a performance that grew increasingly ruthless after Doku's arrival. Liverpool, playing on their own ground, were unable to find a response as City took full control of the encounter.
The win underlines Manchester City's quality in the Premier League, with manager Pep Guardiola able to call upon match-changing talent from the substitutes' bench — a luxury that continues to set City apart from their rivals.
