“Better than Eric Garcia” – Many fans say “brilliant” £22.5m man is an “insane” defender

Manchester City beat Olympiacos 3-0 in Tuesday’s Champions League clash and John Stones was one of many players who came in for praise for his performance.

The 26-year-old was given a rare start at centre-back by Pep Guardiola and didn’t let his manager down. Stones looked assured and solid at the back alongside Nathan Ake, drawing praise from Guardiola and supporters on social media.

John Stones is insane man
