Chelsea attacker Sterling explains muted celebrations in front of Man City fans

Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling explained his goal celebration in their 4-4 draw with former club Manchester City.

Sterling sought to keep his celebrations low-key against old teammates, having left City almost 18 months ago.

The England winger scored in front of the away end and after initially celebrating, he reigned in his celebrations as he faced City's fans.

"I scored and scoring is a good feeling," he told Sky Sports.

"You remember it's your old club so don't try to overdo it. I had a great time at City, people know what I can do."
