Platt pleased with Manchester City professionalism

“We came into this one today and we didn’t expect
anything different from the group of boys that we’ve got. The intensity has
been there in training this week and the focus has been there, it felt like a
normal game,” Platt said

“This football club has got to a point where it’s
obligated to win football matches regardless of whether there is anything on
the game. We want to secure second place as soon as we possibly can.”

Platt also confirmed that goalkeeper Hart suffered
from a spasm in his back which he felt may have hindered his ability to save Carroll’s goal in the last minute.

“There was nothing visible that happened in terms of
being involved in something, as he kicked a ball his back just spasmed,”
he explained.
