Manchester City defender John Stones was delighted with victory at Chelsea.

City won 1-0 in London thanks to Riyad Mahrez's goal.

Stones later said, “It's a big three points for us after the other day. The overriding feeling then was that we had dropped two points and we wanted to put it right today. How we especially played in the second half was brilliant.

“I think we rushed a lot of our play in the first half and didn't retain the ball as well as usual. Credit to Chelsea, they played really compact and we couldn't get many balls through the lines. It all came together in the second half. A few big moments with blocks and things we've done in defending in training and it came off today.

“I've tried to work on my game to make myself a better player and person.

“We don't focus on the table so early. There are 53 points to play for. We have to take it a game at a time and in previous years we have gone on big winning runs. If we perform like we did today I am sure we will have a fighting chance come the end of the season."
