Raheem Sterling continued his sparkling pre-season form on Monday, as the forward inspired Manchester City to a comprehensive 8-1 win over Vietnam at the My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi.
Aleksandar Kolarov, David Silva and Sterling all bagged braces in the lopsided friendly encounter, before Marcos Lopes and Jose Pozo got in on the act from the bench; Nguyen Van Quyet added a consolation for the hosts in stoppage time.
After being well beaten by Real Madrid in their previous pre-season match, manager Manuel Pellegrini would have been desperate for a response from his players.
