Phil Jones has reflected on his favourite derby, which was in December 2012, when Robin van Persie scored an injury time winner.

I’d go for the one when Robin scored the winner when we were 2-0 up. They came back to 2-2 and then Robin curled one in late on. It was a great day.

There is no other feeling like it, especially against City, your local rivals. You always look to those games when the fixture list comes out at the start of the season. Seeing our away fans at the time going crazy and then celebrating in the changing room afterwards – it was an unbelievable feeling.
