Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling sees his side going through a tight title race with his former club.

Sterling joined City from Liverpool a few years ago. He has not regretted the decision for a moment.

But now he is likely to be involved in a title race against the club he left, as they are only two points off City at the top of the table.

"After Liverpool dropped points it was important that we won. They are a brilliant side," the England forward told BBC Sport.

"I thought it was a great team performance. Not just with the ball. We were brilliant at times."
