Both wingers were introduced late in the Manchester derby, with City comfortably leading 3-0. However, tensions were running high among Antony and his fellow United players. To the extent that, in injury time, the Brazilian lashed out at Doku and even made a threatening gesture.
Despite a VAR review, Antony received only a yellow card, but both players engaged in a heated exchange of words in a face-to-face confrontation. Doku had the last laugh as City secured the three points and playfully teased Antony on Instagram, posting, “Stay calm… Manchester is Blue.”
United legend Gary Neville, providing commentary for Sky Sports, strongly criticized Antony’s outburst, stating, “Doku’s absolutely right, Antony just has a kick at him.”
“Absolutely right, Doku. United have lost their discipline. That’s absolutely ridiculous, I’d just send him off.”
“It’s absolutely ridiculous from Antony, it’s embarrassing.”
Erling Haaland’s double and a goal by Phil Foden led to a humiliating home defeat for United. This defeat has left Erik ten Hag’s struggling team in eighth place, while the reigning champions, City, occupy third place, trailing league leaders Tottenham by just two points.
