It was Sterling who scored the only goal of the game in the second minute of Sunday's 1-0 win over Arsenal, meaning he now has five goals and two assists in his last eight Premier League matches.
He also has 20 goals in away league matches since the start of last season, more than any other player in the top-flight. This was the third straight year he has netted on the road against the Gunners, something only two other players have ever done.
This latest victory saw City extend their winning streak to 18 matches in all competitions, 12 of which have come in the Premier League as they re-established their 10-point lead at the top.
