Raheem Sterling strikes twice as Manchester City go top with Southampton routRUI VIERA/AP Manchester City's Raheem Sterling scored twice in the big victory against Southampton. Raheem Sterling scored twice and Sergio Aguero became the ninth player to reach 150 English Premier League goals as Manchester City powered back to the top of the standings by crushing Southampton 6-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Monday (NZT). Sterling laid on the second for Aguero six minutes later and it wasn't long before it was 3-0, Sterling chipping over a cross and the ball falling invitingly for Silva to lash home. City restored its three-goal cushion on the stroke of halftime with Aguero taking advantage of a mistake by Cedric Soares and crossing for Sterling to score his fifth league goal of the season. Sterling added his second of the game midway through the second half before Sane completed the rout in stoppage time.
