'More like 50!' - Pope doubles down on Stones joke after scoring against Man City

The 34-year-old fulfilled his own prophecy as the League Two side went down valiantly against the Premier League champions on Saturday

Port Vale striker Tom Pope has revised his joke about Manchester City defender John Stones following the former's FA Cup header in defeat, stating that he would score 50 goals per season against the England man.

The Premier League champions came away unscathed through their third round tie with the League Two outfit, prevailing 4-1 thanks to goals from Oleksandr Zinchenko, Sergio Aguero, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Phil Foden.
