Manchester City fans have no shortage of idols at the moment, be it the insatiable Erling Haaland, long-time favourite Kevin De Bruyne or the reinvented Jack Grealish. But on Saturday, they were particularly pleased to see John Stones give them the lead against Leicester City with a scorching half volley from outside the area, and with his weaker left foot too.

As the defender ran over to the corner flag to celebrate and embrace Haaland, the fans began bellowing out "Jonny, Jonny Stones, Jonny, Jonny Stones" to the tune of Boney M's 'Daddy Cool'.

And he is hugely respected by Pep Guardiola, who has always leapt to his defence in times of trouble.
