Napoli vs Manchester City, 5 Talking Points

#3 Sterling in the form of his life

Raheem Sterling rounds off the battering with a classy finish

Raheem Sterling has definitely changed perspectives since his acrimonious transfer from Liverpool to Manchester City, but this is arguably is his best form.

The 22-year old was on target once again, taking his goal tally for the season to 10 in 14 outings in all competitions and signifying his transformation to a potential goal-machine.

Sterling was a tireless worker both on and off the ball, making insurgent runs from the flanks and popping up in dangerous positions as City made relentless counter-attack to send tremors down the Napoli spine. This guy, though, had charges of his own at them.

The former Liverpool prodigy has hit a purple patch in his career that wasn't witnessed before. He has become an able goal-scorer for his side this season, and his third consecutive game on the score-sheet in the Champions League scripts a terrific story of his growth into a Mancunian sniper.

As City surged up the park in yet another clinical counter, Kevin De Bruyne laid off the ball for Sterling in the box, who nonchalantly slotted past Pepe Reina. Not only did he cap off the game in style, but also exhibited great composure and character to do so.

Raheem Sterling has scored goals at will this season, and his transformation into a full-blown attacking ace is very much palpable.
