Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has expressed his disappointment at failing to capitalise on his encounter with Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Reds full-back endured a difficult afternoon on Sunday during their 2-0 win over Pep Guardiola's side against the Belgian.

Despite the 22-year-old enjoying success in one-v-one situations, City failed to break down the defensive structure from Liverpool.



Alexander-Arnold lost 12 duels, while Doku won 16 and completed 15 dribbles during his 90-minute display at the Etihad Stadium.

The encounter reignited the battle from earlier in the season which saw Jarell Quansah replace the Reds vice-captain midway through the second-half.

However, Doku has admitted his frustration at a lack of execution after failing to deny Liverpool the opportunity to extend their lead at the Premier League summit.

"I passed him [Alexander-Arnold] a lot of times but it was then the final pass or I don't know," he said.

"The most important thing after passing is to create something from it, and I played some good balls in front of the goal but we have to score.

"We have to analyse the game and see what I can do better and what we can do better as a team."

Alexander-Arnold is likely to continue in the full-back position after Slot confirmed that his right-back partner, Conor Bradley, will be out for "a few weeks" after picking up a muscle injury against Aston Villa.

"He [Bradley] is out for a few weeks," said the Dutchman.
