Manuel Akanji insists there will be no complacency at Manchester City following their emphatic win over title rivals Arsenal.

The treble-chasing champions took firm control of the title race as they overpowered the Premier League leaders 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

The victory took them within two points of the Gunners at the top and, with two games in hand, they now look strong favourites to secure their fifth league crown in six years. “It was a big game and a massive win for us,” said defender Akanji. “It helps us a lot but there’s still so many games to play. “Seven games – still 21 points to grab so we can’t relax now on this win.

We’ve got to go on Sunday and win the next game against Fulham.” Arsenal had seen their once-healthy advantage eroded with three successive draws heading into the hotly-anticipated encounter.
