John Stones reveals surprising instructions Pep Guardiola gave to him when coming on as he revels in new role after scoring late equaliser against Arsenal

John Stones revealed the final instructions given to him by Pep Guardiola before coming on as he proved to be the unlikely hero for Manchester City in their riveting 2-2 draw against Arsenal.

The 10-man Gunners looked to be on course for victory but Stones happened to be in the right place at the right time as he poked home the equaliser in the 98th minute.

Stones entered the contest in the 78th minute in place of Kyle Walker, who was at right back.

However, the centre-back was lumped up top alongside superstar striker Erling Haaland as City threw the kitchen sink at Arsenal to find an equaliser, which they did.
