BBC Sport pundit Mark Schwarzer was not particularly impressed with one incident involving Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku during the Premier League match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Former Chelsea goalkeeper Schwarzer simply could not believe what Doku had done in the second half.
So, what did Mark Schwarzer say about Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku during the match against Chelsea?
Let’s take a look.
What’s the story?
Well, Manchester City failed to win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Premier League game between Chelsea and City in London ended in a 4-4 draw.
Jeremy Doku started the match at left wing for City.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola took off Doku in the 59th minute and brought on Jack Grealish instead.
In the second half, Doku tried to earn a penalty by diving inside the Chelsea box.
The referee saw through it and gave the winger a yellow card.
I believe that it was the right call.
It was a really bad dive.
Schwarzer said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “I have to say, that was embarrassing from Doku.
“He threw himself to the floor.
“He even asked the referee for a penalty.”
Jeremy Doku not at his best for Manchester City vs Chelsea
In my view, Jeremy Doku did not have one of his best games for Manchester City against Chelsea.
Doku has been superb for City in recent weeks.
The 21-year-old Belgium international winger has been so good that he has been keeping England international Jack Grealish out of the team.
Against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in London on Sunday, Doku did have some good moments.
The winger was a problem for the Chelsea defenders, but Reece James did well to keep him quiet, especially in the first half.
James is one of the best right-backs in the Premier League, and the England international’s performance against Doku showed why City reportedly view him as a long-term successor to Kyle Walker in their team.
Against Chelsea, Doku took one shot and it was on target, had a pass accuracy of 71.4%, took 33 touches, attempted four dribbles, made two tackles, and put in one cross.
