Manchester City ace Raheem Sterling reached 100 Premier League goals after scoring in Saturday's 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad.

The Englishman's controversial penalty against Wolves took him to his century. 

Wolves' Raul Jimenez was sent off for a second yellow card shortly before the half-time whistle blew which left Bruno Lage's men down to ten for the best part of 45 minutes. 

And their luck would soon go from bad to worse as referee Jon Moss pointed to the spot after Joao Moutinho was judged to have handled the ball in the box following a cross from Bernardo Silva.

However, VAR bizarrely refused to overturn the decision, despite replays clearly showing that it actually struck him in the armpit.

Sterling made it 1-0 from the spot to rub further salt in the wounds.  

But he was quick to downplay his achievement as he praised his teammates for staying 'patient' after they toiled against a resolute Wolves defence. 

The 27-year-old said. "It’s a lovely achievement. Some fantastic players in there, I really wanted to be in among them.

"We had to keep patient, they kept it tight and we knew if we kept playing we’d eventually break through.

"We keep saying the next game, the next game, we’ve done that again today and now we look forward to midweek."
