Raheem Sterling hails his best Manchester City performance
Saturday 17 October 2015 18:39, UK
Raheem Sterling says his performance against Bournemouth was his best in a Manchester City shirt.
Sterling hit a first-half hat-trick as City remained top of the Premier League with a 5-1 win over Eddie Howe's men.
The England man was in clinical mood to net his first treble of his career as Wilfried Bony also helped himself to two goals against a defensively ragged Bournemouth side.
After moving to the Etihad Stadium in a record £49m deal from Liverpool - the highest fee for any English player - Sterling has hit the ground running under Manuel Pellegrini, whose side sit two points clear of Manchester United with the pair due to clash on Super Sunday next weekend.
"That was most definitely my best game for City - I got chances and I finished them," he said.

"I think the movement up front and the passes from midfielders has been really good in the last few games. We are a free-flowing team going forward and we are trying to cut out conceding goals - in time that will come.
