Pep Guardiola was delighted for John Stones after the English defender's performance against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The centre-back was able to score two goals while also keeping a clean sheet in the 4-0 victory.

"If there's one guy who deserves it, it is John, he has struggled for many reasons in the past, it belongs to him how he overcame this," said Guardiola afterwards.

"It's just minutes for him. He deserves to play, he doesn't make mistakes and he's created a good partnership with Ruben Dias."
