Guardiola lauds Raheem Sterling after treble at Brighton

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola paid tribute to Raheem Sterling after his hat-trick was instrumental in the 5-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday - City's second successive 5-0 Premier League victory.

Sterling's treble, plus goals from Gabriel Jesus and Bernardo Silva were too much for Brighton and mathematically ensure that City will be in next season's Champions League.

That's subject to their appeal against a two-year ban from European competition from UEFA - a decision of which will be heard on Monday.
