# Manchester City: Fans fume at John Stones for Raheem Sterling party antics

**After succumbing to a [derby day loss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E__EUarCVB4&feature=onebox) at the hands of bitter rivals Manchester United on Saturday, a match where City still looked nowhere near their defensive best, the players went out and celebrated Raheem Sterling’s birthday with a [Great Gatsby-themed party](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/raheem-sterling-party-man-city-17385778) – though John Stones’ antics angered a handful of supporters.**

Manchester City take on Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday evening having already qualified for the knockout stage as group winners, with a few youngsters [likely to cameo](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-team-news-foden-17388791) in the encounter.

Before that, though, Sterling and his City teammates celebrated the winger’s birthday in style in a season where he looks well-positioned to top his [best goalscoring season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134425) for the club.

Despite this, a few fans took aim at John Stones following a clip of the party which surfaced online.

The defender appeared to be having a little bit too much fun, and plenty of fans think he could soon feel the wrath of Pep Guardiola.

Here’s what they said on Twitter:

> Just by looking at Stones’ eyes you can easily tell that he’s drunk… Pep not going to be happy

> I’m all for the lads living their lives, but when Stones sloped off the pitch on Saturday looking like he was after an early pint after a game of Sunday League, I didn’t think I could lose any more respect for him. I was wrong. Stealing a living from City this lad.
