Raheem Sterling

Wow! What a transformation Sterling is experiencing under Pep! The youngster followed his man of the match performance against Sunderland with arguably another man of the match performance against Steaua Bucharest last night. His exciting dribbling and flare that was missing for the majority of last season has seemed to have been reignited under Pep Guardiola. A performance that really merited a goal however his play for his teammates was arguably as valuable. He won the first penalty by cleverly drawing the tackle inside the box, which was the second penalty he had won in three days. In addition to this, two assists made it a day to remember for Sterling as his performances look to be on the rise from last season.

9/10 – *MOTM*
