Man City defender Ruben Dias: We must step things up

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has called on his teammates to step up for the rest of the season.

The Citizens could only manage a 0-0 draw at home against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

While Dias knows it was a solid result, he believes they must start winning such games.

“We definitely controlled the game," he told club media.

“It's obviously frustrating not to win a game like that because of how important it is from now forward but we have to take that frustration and use it in the right way.

“We can look at the table and realize how close we are and maintain this level. There are still enough games to play and a lot can happen.

“We're still in three competitions but we have to focus on every game. If we lose in any of those competitions then things get difficult.

“I guess we all like to live with that pressure and fine margins, we simply have to take it to the right side as we've done it in the past."
