Sterling was 'just happy to contribute with that.'

Man-of-the-match Raheem Sterling told Sky Sports after the win: "I was happy, obviously I think we started half decent against Liverpool and then with the loss last week we needed to get a win here, I'm just happy to contribute with that.

"It was a bit of frustration from last season from myself personally because I felt like I was always coming with my back to goal. A bit deep and I wasn't giving myself enough chances to get into the box.

"I had a conversation with the gaffer earlier last week and we've gone through the role and I know exactly what he needs from me and it's as simple as that, I need to get on the back foot and do what I do and drive at players and get on it and that's when I'm most effective.

"I came in a difficult period, that's all finished. I think the most important thing, I've had a look at myself and I'm a person who always tries to analyse what I've been doing, what I've done wrong, what I can change. It's as simple as that, I want to get back to being obsessed with football. Just football 24/7 and nothing else and focus on top performances and goals and assists."
