Raheem Sterling has had one of those very, very Raheem Sterling games. He’s made bad decisions, fluffed a penalty, missed a good chance… and then got an important assist.
His burst down the left had Leicester defenders trailing after him, and he kept his head to pick out his old mate Cole Palmer who attacked on the far side. The attacking midfielder had an easy task to turn the ball in and make it 2-0 at half time.
If we keep composed in the second half, that’s job done.
