The 25-year-old scored a treble as Manchester City smashed five past Brighton at the Amex. City were in irresistible form with Sterling powering home the opener from 20 yards. He then nodded home his second on 53 minutes before completing his hat-trick nine minutes from the end. "The 3rd goal you did not score it," he laughed as he briefly took the matchball from Sterling's clutches before returning it. "I was pleased with everything tonight - the result and the levels we reached," the City boss told Sky Sports afterwards.
