Nathan Ake says Manchester City players held a number of meetings after the club’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest in February to refocus their title efforts.
The Blues had dominated the game at the City Ground, enjoying 73 per cent possession and firing in 23 shots, but ultimately conceded a late Chris Wood goal to share the spoils. City’s last defeat to date came three matches before that trip, going down 1-0 to Tottenham.
A 3-1 win over Aston Villa followed before the memorable 3-1 win at the Emirates against Arsenal. But the draw with Forest looked to have rocked their title charge and Ake has revealed the players knew something had to be done.
