It is widely said that Raheem Sterling does not get the credit he deserves, but the Manchester City forward picked up plenty of plaudits for his performance in their win over West Ham.
Pep Guardiola's side scored four at the London Stadium for the third successive game as they continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
Three of their goals came in the first half as Sterling scored one and assisted two in another impressive display from the champions.
The 23-year-old has now been involved in 14 league goals in 11 appearances this season, scoring and providing seven each.
That comes after playing a key role in Guardiola's title-winning side last season and he is fast becoming a favourite with the club's fans.

Sterling is so influential and productive, he is the best winger in the league. With Sane on the other side City currently have the best wingers in the world on form. None of this Salah / Hazard crap, our boys have years on them. ManchesterCity #ManCity #MCFC #Sterling #Sane

Fair play to him. #LFC #MCFC
Sané has his mojo back and Sterling is a completely different player this season! Wouldn’t even say we’re at our best either! #MCFC #ManCity #WHUMCI
