Sterling in action for Man City
Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling has been named as the Premier
League’s player of the month for November.
The England international helped City win all three of their league
matches, against Southampton, Manchester United and West Ham.
The 24-year-old has scored eight Premier League goals in total this
season, while adding seven assists, in 13 appearances.
The City forward has also been commended for his response to
Saturday’s alleged incident of racial abuse by Chelsea fans at
Stamford Bridge, with the Blues banning four supporters while
investigations continue.
He signed a new deal last month which will keep him at the Etihad
Stadium until 2023.
City boss Pep Guardiola is happy with the progress Sterling has made
since joining City from Liverpool in July 2015 but feels there is
still room for improvement in his game.
“He can do better,” said Guardiola earlier this month. “We are so
delighted with what he has done in three years but he can do better.
“He can be more consistent, his first controls, receptions, many
things. Definitely – I’ve said many times we are delighted but he can
do better.”
