Manchester City star John Stones has explained he ‘always wanted’ to score against Manchester United in the derby.
John Stones said: “This is my most-liked post. It was derby day, a big one for me, to score in a derby was something I always wanted to do and that was made possible. To win it as well, I think we went there [Old Trafford] twice in two weeks. We drew the first one and obviously won the second on and then that got us into a final, so it was a massive, massive game. I like that one, I’m proud of that one.”
Stones renaissance this season alongside Ruben Dias at the heart of the Blues defence played a key role towards Pep Guardiola’s side overcoming their sluggish start, with their pair developing an elite partnership – City conceded just 32 goals in the Premier League.
