Stones: Man City players thrive off title race pressure

Manchester City defender John Stones was delighted after victory at Bournemouth.

Phil Foden struck in the first-half for City's 1-0 win.

The pressure [of a top three title race], we thrive off and I'm sure the other teams do too," said Stones.

For us it's about focusing on ourselves. Every game is a final for us, winning it, getting three points, taking out at much from it as we can and moving onto the next.

It's about performing well in every game between now and the end of the season.

I always feel if we perform well then we're going to get something good out the game. Winning and keeping clean sheets is vital. To go that against a difficult side is really pleasing.

We focus all our energy on what's in front of us, keeping focusing on ourselves and I think that's our biggest quality, staying in our lane and focusing on what we can do."
