Raheem Sterling’s start to life at Manchester City has been mixed, but he certainly found top gear against Bournemouth.
The England winger fired home a first-half hat-trick against Eddie Howe’s side as City raced into a 4-1 lead at the break.
With Sergio Aguero and David Silva both sidelined through injury, it was the perfect time for the £49m summer signing to kick into gear, and City fans were delighted for him.

@mcfc Glad Sterling is off and running now, forming a good partnership with De Bruyne! #cityview #MCFC

Even some Liverpool fans were happy for their former player.

Not all of them, though.

While it was a similar situation for those fantasy league managers who lost patience with the 20-year-old after he failed to score or even provide an assist in the 6-1 victory over Newcastle.
