Oleksandr Zinchenko insists Man City will 'come back stronger' after derby defeat against Manchester United as defender urges his team-mates to 'be more focused'

Oleksandr Zinchenko has vowed Manchester City will bounce back stronger following their shock derby loss to Manchester United.

Premier League leaders City saw their 21-game winning run come to a sudden halt as they were beaten 2-0 by their arch-rivals at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

It was also quadruple-chasing City's first defeat in 29 games in all competitions stretching all the way back to November.

The result may only prove a blip in City's apparent charge to the title, given they retain an 11-point lead over United at the top, and Zinchenko expects a response in Wednesday's clash with Southampton.
