Jeremy Doku was baptised in the hours after turning in his best performance in a Manchester City shirt during Sunday's rousing derby win.
The Belgium international has been cast as a frustrating winger over his two years at the Etihad Stadium but produced two assists for Phil Foden and then Erling Haaland against Manchester United.
Doku was afforded a freer role in behind Haaland and flourished – putting the improved display down to his faith.
'If I can be honest, it was already a victory for me,' Doku said.
