There was frustration and some negative energy in the Manchester City dressing room after their New Year's Eve draw with Everton, an 'emotional' John Stones has revealed.
City took the lead in the first half through Erling Haaland, but were punished by Everton's one shot on target following a defensive lapse when Demarai Gray found the top corner to earn the visitors a draw. A point leaves City seven points off Arsenal heading into 2023, and Stones said the dressing room mood reflected the missed opportunity in the title race.
And with much more difficult fixtures ahead, Stones admitted that there is no more room for error and that every game from now on is a 'must win'.
