Man City defender Stones says he thrives in big games after crucial goal at Man Utd

Manchester City defender John Stones has said he thrives in big games after his goal at Manchester United helped send his side to the Carabao Cup final.

City defeated their cross-town rivals 2-0 at Old Trafford in Wednesday's semi-final, with Stones opening the scoring in the 50th minute. It was the defender's first City goal since he scored against Napoli in November 2017, breaking a drought of 1,162 days.

Fernandinho would add an insurance goal seven minutes from time with an excellent finish, as City booked their place at Wembley against Tottenham in April.
