Stones pleased to net in City win

John Stones has revealed his delight after netting his first Manchester City goal in Friday night's 5-0 win at West Ham United in the third round of the FA Cup.

The summer signing from Everton completed the scoring in the 84th minute at the London Stadium, adding to efforts from Yaya Toure, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and an own goal from Havard Nordtveit.

England international Stones also paid tribute to his team's overall performance in the English capital, revealing that head coach Pep Guardiola implemented a change in system for the FA Cup fixture.

"I thought we moved the ball well. We changed our system and played with a diamond. It worked really well. To get a clean sheet was good - we haven't had too many," Stones told BBC Sport. "[The goal has] been a long time coming. I should have scored in previous games. It's nice to get one in a special cup."

Man City will continue their Premier League campaign with a trip to Everton next weekend.
