'Stay calm' - Man Utd's Antony savagely trolled by City's Jeremy Doku after heated Manchester derby clash

  • Jeremy Doku took to social media after derby win
  • Antony fouled Belgian winger during game
  • City won the match 3-0 at Old Trafford

WHAT HAPPENED? Doku appeared to goad United and Antony with his 'Manchester is blue' and 'stay calm' messages after the derby clash in which tempers had threatened to spill over.

The derby result kept City within two points of early Premier League leaders Tottenham, while United sit eighth - closer to the relegation zone than the top of the table after a fifth defeat in 10 league games.
