He celebrated his goal by 'shushing' the home supporters, and said in his post-match interview: "It's always good to celebrate in front of away fans.
"You can see a few faces, and it's funny. But it was all about getting the job over the line and getting that point.
"There's been many times we've played a lot better against City and lost the game. So to come here and get the point is a good result for us, if I'm honest.
"It's something that we needed as a team. It instills that belief that even when we don't play well against the champions - they just won a treble last year and they're top of the league - if you can't play well and still get a point against them, we've done something right."
