"Exceptional [performance]. It was difficult, but the wingers when they came in changed the pace. The first time they crossed the halfway line, they made a fantastic goal. Football is always unpredictable, but the way we played in the second half was extraordinary."
"It's always nice to be here fighting against top teams. No team has made four finals in a row [before]. It's extraordinary, and hopefully we can arrive with a good momentum."
"Doku became the first player from Belgium to score in an FA Cup semi-final since Eden Hazard netted for Chelsea against Tottenham in 2017. Along with his goal and assist, Doku created a match-high five chances, completed 11 of his 14 dribbles and won 13 of his 16 duels."
Manchester City won their FA Cup semi-final against Southampton, coming back from a goal down. Jeremy Doku equalized before Nico Gonzalez scored the winning goal.
