'Best Dutch centre back in the world' - Man City fans troll Liverpool after Nathan Ake goal

Manchester City fans have been trolling Liverpool supporters this evening after Nathan Ake scored during the Netherlands' 4-2 victory against Denmark.

Ake started alongside the Reds' Virgil van Dijk in a three-at-the-back formation for the World Cup warm-up match at the Johan Cruyff Arena. The Dutch had taken the lead through Steven Bergwijn before Jannik Vestergaard brought the visitors level.

City's defender then powered home a header to restore Holland's lead in Amsterdam. A Memphis Depay penalty put the Dutch in control heading into the break.

With his first touch since returning from suffering a cardiac arrest at the Euros, Christian Eriksen scored to give Denmark hope but the Netherlands sealed the victory with Bergwijn's second of the game.

Taking to social media, City fans were quick to point out that one of their backup central defenders outshone Liverpool's star man on Saturday evening. Here is how they reacted on Twitter.
