Manchester City defender Nathan Ake says Max Alleyne can be proud of his debut in last night's 1-1 draw with Brighton.

Alleyne was recalled from his loan at Watford and rushed into action for Wednesday night's clash.

“They (Alleyne and Abdukodir Khusanov) did great. Especially Max, only training with us once yesterday,” Ake told City Studios.

“Coming in straight away and playing like that. So hats off to him, he’s been fantastic today.

“Hopefully we can keep it going like that and win the next game for sure.

“Maybe, we were getting used to each other a bit, it’s normal. But I think in the end we corrected it, especially in the pressing. Because of that we had some good recoveries of the ball high up the pitch and it went a bit better. Because of that we created some good chances.

“I think if we scored those, it’s a different game.”
