Pep Guardiola hailed Manuel Akanji's aggression and reading of the game after the centre-back shone on his Premier League debut for Manchester City.
The summer signing has made three successive starts since his £15million move from Borussia Dortmund, but this was his first appearance in domestic competition.
He helped City to a clean sheet in the 3-0 success at Wolves and has found himself more involved than expected, with John Stones repurposed at right-back and Aymeric Laporte out injured.
