Jeremy Doku Aims Sly Dig at Antony After Confrontation During Manchester Derby

• Jeremy Doku aimed a mighty dig at Antony after the Manchester derby
• The two players clashed towards the end of the game after Antony’s bad foul on Doku
• But the Belgian had the last laugh as City emerged 3-0 winners on Sunday, October 29

Manchester City ace Jeremy Doku showed off his savage side with a hilarious dig at Manchester United winger Antony on Sunday.

Doku and his Manchester City side had all the bragging rights after comfortably beating Manchester United 3-0 in the derby at Old Trafford.

Two goals from Erling Haaland and a strike from Phil Foden were enough to exhibit the gulf in class between the two Manchester Clubs, as the Red Devils fell further behind in the title race.

Towards the end of the game, tempers flared, particularly among Manchester United players, who were obviously getting frustrated by the result at home.

One particular incident involving Antony and Jeremy Doku saw the United winger blatantly attempt to fell his counterpart, and the Belgian retaliated as soon as play was called back.

As cited on Sky Sports, brief scuffle ensued, but other players were on deck to diffuse the situation before it escalated.

Antony’s actions earned him criticism from Gary Neville, who accused Manchester United players of losing their heads.

"Antony just has a kick out at Doku," he said. "Man Utd have lost their discipline and it starts with their captain. Ridiculous and embarrassing from Antony. I’d just send him off."

Doku’s rejoinder

On social media, Doku rubbed salt on the wounds of Manchester United players, and Antony in particular as he shared an image from the confrontation.

In his caption, he wrote: “Stay calm, Manchester is Blue,”

The post presumably entertained Man City fans and the neutrals as it garnered more than 160,000 likes.

Doku has been a revelation under Pep Guardiola since signing for Manchester City from French side Rennes in a £55.5 million deal.

Sports Brief also reported on Pep Guardiola’s take on Manchester United’s problems after thrashing them in the derby.

The Spaniard hinted that the club's challenges lie far deeper than the club’s manager, Ten Hag, who a section of quarters wants to be sacked.

United have struggled for dominance since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson back in 2013, with a change of managers not doing them any good.
