We've made a point against the champions, asserts Raheem Sterling

The clash between the top-two teams in the Pre🌄mier League was nothing more than a dead rubber in the context of the championship, with Liverpool already claiming the silverware - t🐻heir first title in 30 years. Hosts Manchester City, playing for pride, hammered the champions at home, handing them a 4-0 defeat while dominating the game throughout. Kevin de Bruyne opened the scoring for Manchester City in the 25th minute via a penalty kick, before Raheem Sterling doubled the lead 10 minutes later.

Youngster Phil Foden added a third on the brink of the half-time whistle. Just when Liverpool thought the humiliation was over, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain netted an ow⛄n goal to put an end to the game in the 66th minute. Liverpool are still 20 points clear of Manchester City after playing 32 matches each and have a chance to break the 100 point barrier. But Sterling, who scored the second goal, admitted that Th𝐆ursday’s game was a test against the champions and they’ve surely made a point, even though Liverpool has been brilliant all year.

"It was a test against the champions. We had a chance to make a point an🐠d I thought we did well today. They (Liverpool) have been brilliant all year. We knew we had to start strong.💎 We wanted to have a good game against them. I thought we started really well and credit to the boys," said Raheem Sterling, as reported by the club’s official website.
