Sterling loving playing ‘fast-paced’ Man City football

Raheem Sterling admits he is thoroughly enjoying his football with Manchester City at the moment.

The 22-year-old winger score City's opening goal in their 2-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Monday night.

It was another impressive display from the England international who was delighted to contribute to an important victory.

"Yeah I'm most definitely happy with the win today," Sterling told CityTV.

"It's also a bonus to get on the scoresheet and try to help my team get the three points and that's what we have done today.

"It's a credit to the boys, we dug deep, and got the three points we deserve."

The goal was his seventh in five outings against the Cherries, including his time at Liverpool, but Sterling insists he doesn't set out to get at the south coast club in particular.

"I try to score against whatever team I can and luckily today, the ball fell nicely for me to be able to tap it in," he added.

"Wish I had a few more but that's how it goes and we've got to move onto the next game now.

"It was a massive three points and I'm most pleased with that."

He added further: "I'm playing some fluent football in the team, it's fast-paced, and I'm really enjoying it.

"I'm loving it at the moment."
