Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: 'Raheem Sterling will keep scoring'

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini states that Raheem Sterling will continue to score for the Citizens, following his hat-trick in City's 5-1 win over Bournemouth.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini feels that Raheem Sterling will continue to score goals for the Citizens.

The 20-year-old winger, who joined City from Liverpool in the summer, netted a hat-trick on Saturday as Pellegrini's men put five past Bournemouth.

"I think it was important for Raheem to score three goals," the Chilean told reporters after the win.

"He must improve his finishing – he did that today, he's young and will continue to get better. I don't think he's a striker like Sergio Aguero or Wilfried Bony but this year, and I said it when he arrived, I am sure he will score more goals than he did at Liverpool.

"It was important for him and the team to change his position today. I thought that near Bony he could have a lot of space."

Man City retained their position at the top of the Premier League table with the win, ahead of their midweek Champions League tie against Sevilla.
