Manchester City went four points clear of the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, as they beat Watford 3-1 at the Etihad.
The Citizens won thanks to a superb hat-trick from forward Raheem Sterling, who completed the feat within 13 minutes and 12 seconds in the second half to secure a vital win for Pep Guardiola’s side.
There was much cause for celebration for the England international, as Sterling scored the fastest Premier League hat-trick since then-Everton striker Romelu Lukaku hit a treble against Sunderland two-and-a-half years ago.
Sterling’s performance on Saturday also showed how important he has been to Manchester City this season, as they sit top of the table.
