Raheem Sterling says it was vital Manchester City capitalised on Liverpool dropping points by thumping Southampton to return to the top of the Premier League.
Sterling scored twice in City’s convincing 6-1 win over the hapless Saints at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, netting his 50th goal for the club in all competitions along the way.
Wesley Hoedt's own goal, Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Leroy Sane completed the scoring for Pep Guardiola’s side, who went two points clear at the top of the table after Liverpool could only draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
