The match was marred by a number of incidents involving 'Los Cafeteros', as they attempted to win by all means.
Wilmar Barrios headbutted Jordan Henderson and saw only a yellow, while Raheem Sterling was bizarrely pushed by a fitness coach as he made his way to the dressing room for half time.
"The game was so strange. Probably the dirtiest team I have ever come up against. In the respect of when we won a penalty - they were surrounding the referee, even pushing the referee. The headbutt I'm sure you've all seen. Scuffing the penalty spot. A lot of off the ball stuff that I'm sure you have not heard about," Stones said.
"All the sort of things you don't really hear in a football match. On our behalf, it showed massive character to keep a cool head and not get sucked into their game. When you play a team that want to fight and disturb your momentum, you can sometimes get dragged into it. That's what they want.
"We stuck to our plan and kept playing our way of football. It's a great sign for a team to have that sort of quality, to have tunnel vision of what we want out of the game plan. It was a difficult situation to be in, but one we overcame and can be proud of."
