Raheem Sterling's Hat-Trick Leads Manchester City Past Atalanta 5-1 in UCL

Manchester City won for a third time in a row in Group C of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League after beating Atalanta 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick, while Sergio Aguero netted a brace on a night when City initially fell behind to a Josip Ilicic penalty, lost Rodri to injury and saw Phil Foden sent off for two yellow cards in a rare start.

Even so, beating the Serie A outfit has put the Citizens in a commanding position to qualify ahead of schedule with only three group games left.
