The England winger opened the scoring with a precise 20-yard effort and Jesus doubled our lead before half-time when he tapped in at the far post from a corner.
Our third goal came via Sterling’s head moments before Bernardo Silva tapped in a rebound after his original drive was spilled by Mat Ryan.
City’s No.7 completed his hat-trick, and the scoring, late in the game and in slightly bizarre circumstances.
Brighton defender Adam Webster beat him in the air, but his header back to Ryan bounced off the falling Sterling’s head and through the goalkeeper’s legs to seal a comfortable victory.
