Belgian-Ghanaian winger Jérémy Doku produced a game-changing performance as Manchester City came from behind to beat Southampton 2-1 in their FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley Stadium.

The 24-year-old forward was introduced in the 58th minute and quickly transformed the game with his pace, creativity, and attacking threat.

City looked to be heading for a shock defeat after Finn Azaz fired Southampton ahead in the 79th minute following an assist from Kuryu Matsuki.

However, Doku stepped up when it mattered most.

Just three minutes from full-time, the Belgian-Ghanaian attacker finished calmly in the 82nd minute after being picked out by Tijjani Reijnders to bring Manchester City level at 1-1.

With momentum now firmly on City’s side, Doku continued to torment Southampton’s defence and played a crucial role in the winner.

In the 87th minute, he set up Nico González, who unleashed a stunning strike from distance to complete a dramatic comeback and send City into the FA Cup final.

Match-winning impact

Doku’s late heroics earned him a perfect 10/10 match rating from Sofascore — the highest rating of any player on the pitch — underlining just how influential he was after coming off the bench.

His equaliser and assist proved decisive in keeping Manchester City’s hopes of a domestic treble alive.

Focus shifts to Premier League action

Manchester City will now turn their attention back to the Premier League, where they are set to host Everton on Monday, May 4, as they continue their push for silverware on multiple fronts.

Doku’s performance once again showed why he remains one of City’s most dangerous attacking weapons in crucial moments.
