Doku's Laugh Turns Heads as Arsenal Fall: A Winger's Witty Take Ahead of CL Clash
Arsenal's setback and Doku's playful reaction spark headlines in English football.

Reaction and Context

Arsenal were defeated by Manchester United.

Jeremy Doku, Manchester City winger, teased Arsenal fans with his reaction after their 3-2 defeat by United.

Doku will feature in Pep Guardiola's squad for the final matchday of the Champions League, on Wednesday evening, against Galatasaray.

In Tuesday's press conference, he was asked about Arsenal's defeat, but the Belgian winger surprised everyone with a laugh.

He added that it's hard to describe his feeling; he hadn't watched the game but heard about their defeat, and he said it was better for us. We still have many matches to play; we must focus on ourselves.

Ahead and the Standings

Arsenal lead the Premier League on 50 points, four ahead of Manchester City.

Punchline: If football were a bakery, Arsenal would forget the dough and still call it a pastry. City would probably season it with silverware before baking.
