5 things we learnt from Manchester City's win against Arsenal

#5 John Stones and Aymeric Laporte make a great defensive pairing

John Stones

John Stones was classy throughout the match with the ball at his feet. His tackle to deny Mkhitaryan and sliding challenge on Aubameyang were brilliant.

Laporte was a threat every time City had a corner and performed admirably to keep the pacy Arsenal forwards at bay. They can keep Otamendi out of the team and form the heart of defence for years to come.
