EPL: Stones Accuses Arsenal Of Time-Wasting

Manchester City goalscorer John Stones has accused Arsenal of time-wasting in the Citizen’s 2-2 draw in Sunday’s Premier League game at Etihad Stadium.

Recall that the England international came off the bench to level the score to 2-2 in the 98th minute.

However, Stones, in a chat with the club’s website, stated that the Gunners came with dirty tactics.

“They slow the game down,” he said afterwards. “They get the keeper on the floor so they can get some information on to the pitch. We had to control our emotions during those tough times.

“I wouldn’t say they have mastered it but they have done it for a few years now so we knew to expect that. You can call it clever or dirty, whichever way you want to put it, but they break up the game which upsets the rhythm.

“They use it to their advantage and we dealt with it very well.”
