City’s impressive 3-1 win at West Ham was also a landmark occasion for Manuel Akanji who chalked up his 100th appearance for the Club at the London Stadium.
It’s fair to say the Swiss defender has been little sort of a revelation since joining City from Borussia Dortmund in the 2022 summer transfer window.
Assured in possession, a superb reader of the game and also armed with supreme tactical flexibility, Akanji has proved a vital component in City’s success over the past two years.
Humble and understated, he is the epitome of the ethos and values that have become the hallmark of Pep’s City.
And another impressive display in the capital where he was deployed at the heart of the defence only further emphasised his importance to the City cause.
