Nathan Ake received a congratulations from Dominic Solanke after Manchester City thrashed Fulham 5-1 on Saturday.
The £41 million (Independent) player celebrated both his team’s triumph and his well-placed header against Marco Silva’s team on Instagram.
Nathan Ake was praised by Dominic Solanke, who shared a dressing room with him at AFC Bournemouth, after Manchester City humiliated Fulham.
The Dutchman’s goal, which Jamie Carragher described as “almost perfect,” caused debate because Manuel Akanji blocked Bernd Leno’s view.
However, when used at left-back this season, Ake proved that he still poses a significant aerial danger while still being dependable.
By defeating Fulham, Manchester City kept up their winning start to the 2023/2024 Premier League season. Dominic Solanke expressed his gratitude to Nathan Ake.
He left an Instagram remark saying, “Love it!”
The fact that they spent the full 2019–2020 season together suggests that the two still have a close relationship from their time together at Bournemouth.
Nathan Ake is deserving of every accolade there is.
Perhaps Dominic Solanke doesn’t need to be told about Nathan Ake’s abilities; the Manchester City defender was once again rock-solid in defense against Fulham.
The general consensus was that the Dutch international just lacked the qualifications to play for what many considered to be the best team in the world.
Back in the previous campaign, Nathan Ake oversaw Manchester City’s comeback following the World Cup and was crucial to their historic title victory.
A world-class defender thanks to his tenacity and work ethic, Ake has maintained his levels throughout the entire campaign.
