Raheem Sterling netted his 85th Premier League goal on Tuesday, a tally that puts the Manchester City winger ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the division’s all-time goalscorer standings.
Sterling opened the scoring for his club after 31 minutes against Watford, and struck again before half-time to send Pep Guardiola’s charges into the break 2-0 up at the Vicarage Stadium.
Unlike his challengers for the scoring crown, Sterling is not an orthodox centre-forward, playing primarily in a wide position for City since moving from Liverpool in 2015. Tuesday’s double marked his 84th and 85th league goals, which means he has now surpassed Ronaldo’s United mark – scored, like Sterling, mostly as a winger.
Sterling now shares sixth place on that list with Eden Hazard, who also netted 85 times during his time at Chelsea.
