Inside Manchester City’s jubilant dressing room after victory over Liverpool

Manchester City hero John Stones wasted no time in discovering just how close he came to turning the Premier League title race on its head.

After Sadio Mane hit the post during the first half, Stones kicked the ball off his own goalkeeper Ederson before scrambling to make a goal-line clearance with the ball only 11 millimetres from crossing the line.

Come the final whistle, that intervention proved crucial as City went on to win 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium and cut Liverpool's lead atop the table to four points.
