Raheem Sterling bags two goals as Manchester City hammer Vietnam
Star signing looks in fine form in Hanoi romp
Raheem Sterling scored twice in 12 minutes to lead Manchester City to an 8-1 rout of Vietnam on Monday, stretching an impressive pre-season run after his recent high-profile move from Liverpool.
The Englishman, who left Anfield in a £49 million deal, clinched his brace inside 31 minutes amid a flurry of forays into the box that shook Vietnam and left the hosts struggling to stem the onslaught.
Aleksandar Kolarov and David Silva both scored a goal in each half for a City side testing out youngsters in a lopsided match before a near-sellout Hanoi crowd.
The victory was City’s third in four pre-season games on the road after wins in Australia over Melbourne City and Roma and a 4-1 defeat by Real Madrid. City play VfB Stuttgart in Germany on Saturday.
