Stones praises 'brilliant' Bravo's start to life at Man City

The Chilean endured a baptism of fire in the Manchester derby on Saturday but looked much more assured as City beat Gladbach in midweek

Manchester City defender John Stones says Claudio Bravo has made a “brilliant” start to life at the Etihad Stadium.

Bravo endured a testing introduction to English football in Saturday’s Manchester derby; colliding with Stones to present Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a goal and throwing himself into a challenge with Wayne Rooney following a loose touch in the area.

He looked far more assured as City beat Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 on Wednesday evening, however, showing the kind of composure in possession which persuaded Pep Guardiola to make him City No.
