28 With their team reduced to ten men, the defenders also struggled. Manchester City struck 27 times in the second half (without scoring), the second-most shots ever recorded by a team in a single half in the Premier League.

98 It was therefore on the 28th shot, at the end of stoppage time (90th + 8) that John Stones equalized.Over the years we have learned as a team to stick together no matter who is playing and to always be ready.”insisted the English defender, who came on to the pitch a quarter of an hour earlier, which allowed City (13 pts) to keep the lead in the championship.
