Sterling show tarnished by red

Raheem Sterling yesterday scored a 97th-minute winner and was then sent off for his wild celebration as Manchester City came from behind to win at Bournemouth.

Sterling found the net with a deflected effort from close range, and celebrated by running to celebrate with the City fans, earning a second yellow card from referee Mike Dean.

The Cherries had dominated the early exchanges and took a deserved lead on 13 minutes when Charlie Daniels drilled home a stunning half-volley off the crossbar from the edge of the area.

But City equalised eight minutes later with their first shot on target, David Silva picking out Gabriel Jesus with a perfectly weighted pass for the Brazilian to roll the ball home.

The goal seemed to spark the visitors into life and they dominated the rest of the half without adding to their score.

Both teams had chances after the break, with Bournemouth’s Joshua King and City’s Nicolas Otamendi hitting the post.  – BBC Sport.
