More Comments:

Imps2018: “Akinde will rightfully get most the plaudits, so I voted for Toffolo because Akinde wasn’t our only fantastic player.”

sedgleyimp: “Exceptionally good team performance but got to go with Akinde. Gargantuan performance by him.”

Impalex: “Akinde’s performance was simply top-notch and undoubtedly his very best in a City shirt. Rhead must take some of the credit for that.”

PWould: “Akinde by a country mile. Shout outs also to Rheady, O Hara and O’Connor. Bruno and Harry were also quality.”

Stevie_imp: “Gilks was really excellent in goal and other players had a great game, in particular, Harry Anderson. But Akinde was immense on Saturday. He provided all the attacking aggression and passion. Great performance.”
