Former Manchester City striker Paul Dickov hailed Nathan Ake after their FA Cup win against Arsenal.
Ake was the matchwinner last night for their 1-0 FA Cup triumph.
What a finish from Nathan. If Kevin De Bruyne had put that it into the net, we would all be applauding and he it with his right foot too!" the former City and Scotland striker told the club's website.
Defensively he was fantastic on Friday as well.
He was up against Bukayo Saka who is one of the best players in the Premier League.
And I just think Saka was not going to run in behind him a lot. He's a quick player with the ball at his feet and every time Nathan was on top of him pushing him back and pushing him back.
The one occasion in the first half where Saka did face him up, Nathan didn't panic. He held his ground and got in at the right time.
With the Dutch national team Nathan plays in a back three on the left-hand side so it's not strange for him to go out there.
He has been magnificent."
