John Stones says referee Mike Dean was right to award Manchester City their first controversial penalty in the 4-1 win over Stoke City.
Manchester City defender John Stones insists that the debatable penalty awarded to Nicolas Otamendi against Stoke City was the correct decision.
Pep Guardiola's side ran out 4-1 winners at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday, with Sergio Aguero and Nolito each scoring twice, though the game was marked by three controversial decisions from referee Mike Dean.
City were awarded a spot-kick on 27 minutes when Ryan Shawcross was penalised for holding the arm of Otamendi, while Stoke were awarded their own penalty just after the break after Raheem Sterling tried to block Shawcross' run towards a high ball.
