The ball boy that Eden Hazard kicked back in 2013 in Chelsea’s loss to Swansea City has gone on to become filthy rich.
Doku was able to leave the pitch victorious and after full-time, posted a picture of the clash on his social media. Alongside it, he wrote: "Stay calm... Manchester is blue".
Antony was not the only player to lose their composure in the final minutes of the game, with United captain Bruno Fernandes also booked in added-time for a lunge on Doku.
The Portuguese midfielder also injured himself when charging into a challenge on John Stones and was evidently frustrated.
After full-time, Roy Keane urged Erik ten Hag to strip Fernandes of the captaincy, adding: "He's whinging, he’s moaning, he’s throwing his arms up in the air constantly. From what I saw today, I would take that [the armband] off him.
"Fernandes is a brilliant footballer, but in terms of captain material, he is the opposite from what I want in a captain."
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.
Off the back of derby victory, City have a clear week to prepare for the Premier League visit of Bournemouth on November 4. United are back in action sooner, facing a Newcastle side that knocked City out of the competition in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday.
