He accepts the ball 30 yards to the right of the goal. Spurs have four players forward of him.
Raheem Sterling had the ball for sixteen seconds (minus one or two on the reset passes) without being dispossessed by Spurs, who were laser-focused on him until the last second feed to Ilkay. This is the second straight match I have seen Raheem do this, he did a similar to Liverpool last week. He is a magician with speed.
He dribbles along the 18-yard box. Four Spurs in good position to defend him.
The ball on a string on his foot, he penetrates the box. Two spurs in pincer position to close him down.
Now all four Spurs converge but Sterling is so fast and has such sublime ball control skills that he has left one in his fumes and has another leaning the wrong way. A third defender however is right at the ball.
Sterling gets through them all unmolested and has danced all the way across the pitch to the left side of goal and about 12 yards out.
After two quick passes to Foden and Gundogan to reset he gets the ball back and now has Gundogan set up for a give and go.
Gundogan has a hole and hits it.
Sterling delivers the ball and Gundogan easily beats the goalkeeper.
