Huddersfield 1-2 Manchester City PLAYER RATINGS: Raheem Sterling in a class of his own as winger's fortunate late goal proves to be decisive

A huge stroke of luck handed Manchester City a late 2-1 win at Huddersfield Town on Sunday to maintain their eight point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola's men were forced to come from behind after a Nicolas Otamendi own goal put Huddersfield ahead on the stroke of half time.

Sergio Aguero responded moments after the restart from the penalty spot, but it was a rebound that fortuitously cannoned off of Raheem Sterling that snatched all three points for the visitors in the 84th minute.
