Raheem Sterling continues to torment his former team Manchester City, scoring for Chelsea for the second time this season.
The English striker previously found the back of the net in the thrilling 4-4 draw between the two clubs at Stamford Bridge, and he has once again left his mark at the Etihad Stadium.
The goal came from a devastating counter-attack. Jackson flicked the ball on to Gusto who quickly played a through pass, sending Sterling clear on goal.
Keeping his composure, Jackson stayed onside before calmly passing the ball to Sterling at the far post, who skillfully evaded Walker’s tackle before firing the ball past Ederson.
