Raheem Sterling clocked another goalscoring milestone for Manchester City following his goal against Newcastle United on Sunday.
The England international opened the scoring proceedings in the emphatic 5-0 win to take his City tally to 129 goals since moving to the club from Liverpool in 2015; 89 of which have come in the Premier League.

Sunday’s goal was his 50th at the Etihad in the Premier League, which puts him just behind Sergio Aguero in the scoring charts.
Only three English players have scored 10+ goals AND provided 10+ assists in a Premier League season since the beginning of 2016/17:
◎ Raheem Sterling (2017/18)
◎ Raheem Sterling (2018/19)
◎ Harry Kane (2020/21)

The striker will be hoping to add to his tally before the season ends as they still have three fixtures to play against Wolves, West Ham, and Aston Villa; the latter set to take place at the Etihad in what will be their last game of the season.
