John Stones and Ruben Dias are Manchester City's WONDER WALL... The centre-backs have been pivotal for Pep Guardiola's side in outstanding season

Of all the moments that have made up the rebirth of John Stones, one relatively rudimentary decision stands out and captures the essence of his resurgence.

Manchester City held a one-goal lead at the Emirates back in February. The game was growing old and Arsenal still had a sniff of an unlikely point. City briefly found themselves under a bit of pressure.

Stones was heading towards his own goal, mopping up as the last man, but had a silent runner in the vicinity, lurking to pounce on a sloppy back pass.
