Manchester City defender John Stones won great praise last night for his performance at Napoli.

City won their Champions League clash 4-2 at the San Paolo.

Stones scored on goal and hit the frame of Napoli's goal in a superb performance.

"John Stones is growing in stature and, in both penalty boxes now, he's made a massive improvement at what he does," said former Arsenal defender Martin Keown.

"It was a really dominant display from him, he's getting better every game."

Keown added: "Gareth Southgate now, he's got to pick Stones. If you get into the Man City team you get into the England team - it's almost a given."

Former City captain Richard Dunne added: "Last year he was judged as £40-£50 million defender instead of a 23-year-old centre half, who won't mature for a couple more years. But he's getting there."
