The England forward, who was criticised for a lack of composure in the final third at the World Cup over the summer, showed his class with a wonderful goal.

In just the 14th minute of the match at the Emirates Stadium, Sterling cut inside from the left before firing a clinical strike past Petr Cech.

Okay, so Cech perhaps should have dived to his left and made the save, but it was still pretty special from Sterling.

Who says he can't finish after 50 goals in the top flight?
