Nolito insists he has no problem fighting for a place in the Manchester City team.
The attacker came off the bench to score twice in victory at Stoke City.
Nolito said: "I was lucky to come on as a substitute.
"I did well. I won't always start because of the other guys in the squad but the most important thing is we all worked together in the same direction and in the end we had a good win."
