Man City boss Pep Guardiola recently reflected on Sterling’s performance, saying although the England international has rediscovered his form, there is still room for improvement.

the Spanish tactician said.

"It's good for both wingers to score and get assists, he is decisive. Still he knows he can do better, one-v-one, but this is a step to come back in his best form."

He added:

"I took him back to basics, when you're at this level it's normal.

"This calendar, they have more and more games. Sometimes the guys are mentally tired. It's so difficult. It's just physical, physical, and physical.

"So demanding a little bit less. Come back to the basics. Step by step basics will be enough when the confidence come back, you come back who you are.

"If one player doesn't play well their ability doesn't go. Raheem is still the same guy."
