The Champions, Manchester City traveled to the capital on Saturday to face Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola opted for a false No.9 in Raheem Sterling who attempted plenty of dribbles at Chelsea’s back four.
And his running style was questioned by groups of Chelsea supporters who chanted: “Raheem Sterling, he runs like a girl.”
Who remembers Eden Hazard appearing to mock Sterling’s running style?!
The Belgium ace did his best Sterling impression, and, to be fair, it’s pretty spot on.
The England winger even addressed his running style.
“My mum went to my little brother’s sports day. She sent me a clip of her running 0 and I thought, ‘OK, that’s where I get it from’,” he said.
“I’d never seen her run before. So it’s my mum – don’t laugh! Before my mum had my sister she was in the Jamaican athletics team.
“I don’t think my running style is something I would like to pass on though – I will just take all of everyone else’s laughter on myself.”
Whilst he may have a different technique, it’s certainly working as Sterling has produced heroics this season bagging an impressive eight goals thus far.
