Manchester City star Raheem Sterling got his season off to the perfect start on Saturday, with an opening-day hat-trick giving the winger an edge over a number of his rivals in the early race for the Golden Shoe.

Sterling was on fire in the second half, netting three times for the Premier League holders in the 5-0 win over West Ham United.
