‘Man City will fight until the last day’ – Stones won’t throw in title towel despite feeling flat

The Blues defender saw Pep Guardiola’s drop another two points away at Newcastle, leaving the defending champions with a serious mountain to climb

John Stones admits Manchester City feel “flat” after dropping two points at Newcastle, but says the reigning Premier League champions will “fight until the last day” in the defence of their title.

Pep Guardiola thought his side had dug out another priceless win as the clock ticked down at St James’ Park.

Kevin De Bruyne crashed home a spectacular effort to put the Blues in front, but Jonjo Shelvey was to have the final word as he rescued a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw.
