Manchester City could use our fighting spirit, says Bunley star Kevin McDonald

Burnley goalscorer Kevin McDonald claimed Manchester City could learn from the fighting spirit embodied by Owen Coyle's players.
McDonald's late equaliser earned Burnley a first away point of the season and made a mockery of the enormous financial gulf between them and mega-rich City.
"Some of City's players cost £30m, but we're all human," said McDonald, who celebrated his 21st birthday with a first Premier League goal.
"Lads in our dressing-room like Graham Alexander and Robbie Blake are 37 and 34 and still playing at this level.
"Obviously everybody would like to have the kind of money City have got, to be able to buy the top players.
"But what we've got is a good team spirit and great togetherness. So we're doing well enough.
"At some point we were going to get an away result and it couldn't come at a better time, with the international break coming up.
"We knew we had to get points away from home some time. I hope we can relax a bit more away from home now and pick up some more.
"I was 21 on Wednesday and I've scored my first Premier League goal, so it's been quite a week.
"My brother and his friends were down from Scotland and I gave them a wee wave after I scored.
"I haven't started a game yet this season, but I can't complain because the team's been doing well. All I can do is come on and try my best, and to get a goal was a bonus."
