Once a record signing for the Cityzens, Raheem Sterling was blistering through the left flank in the absence of Leroy Sane who is expected to be restored against Everton in midweek.

The absence of Bellerin and Maitland-Niles helped the Manchester City forward who found it too easy against the 35-year-old Stephan Lichsteiner.

His combination play with the talisman Sergio Aguero was pivotal to City's win. With his drifting runs through the left, he found Manchester City's No. 10 in the middle who had the simpler task to tap the ball in from close range.

Besides, he made four key passes throughout the game which further enhances his superiority in the Manchester City forward line.

His dribble attempts are 100%, having completed five out of five throughout the game. The Manchester City No. 7 did take one shot from outside the box which was comfortably parried away by the shot-stopper Bernd Leno. He was the second best player for the Cityzens without any shadow of a doubt.
