City roll on thanks to Raheem Sterling

A single Raheem Sterling strike was enough to secure Man City’s 18th Premier League win in a row at the hands of Newcastle United.

Sterling struck on 31 minutes after some superb link-up play with Kevin De Bruyne to extend the Blues’ amazing winning run along with their lead at the top of the league table to 15 points.
