Liverpool 3-0 Manchester City: Five Talking Points

#2 Not a homecoming to remember for Sterling

Sterling had a nightmarish time on his old stomping ground

Former Liverpool talent Raheem Sterling left a bitter taste in the Kop's mouth when he swapped the red of Merseyside for the blue of Manchester last summer. The English youngster was shipped for a record fee for a teenager at 49 million, and was thereby at the receiving end of a barrage of brickbats from the fans for his avarice.

On his first return to Anfield since his departure, Sterling had a nightmarish time on his old stomping ground and the Kop gained a shot at retribution. The 21-year old cut a frustrated figure in City's attack and was effectively negated by Jon Flanagan.

Sterling was then put out of his misery after getting substituted at half-time, as the purs of boos and jeers only grew louder with each passing minute when he was on the field.
