Raheem Sterling scored one goal and assisted another as Manchester City made it four consecutive Premier League wins, beating Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0, to go top.

After Sergio Aguero had an overhead kick blocked on four minutes, Sterling opened the scoring just before the half-hour.

The winger finished off Leroy Sane's cross after a quick counter-attack. 

Aguero got his fifth PL goal of the season net with 25 minutes remaining, after a brilliant one-two with Sterling. 

The result sent Man City top on 19 points, after Chelsea and Liverpool drew 1-1 later in the day.

Brighton slip to 14th with five points.
