Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola explains how Raheem Sterling has improved this season.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised the improvement of Raheem Sterling.

The England international, who moved to the Etihad Stadium from Liverpool in 2015, has scored 12 goals so far this season.

The most recent came in a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town on Sunday.

Sterling has now helped the team pick up seven points in the Premier League and Champions League by finding the back of the net numerous times inside the last 10 minutes.

"He is young, still can improve but he made a big gap," the Manchester Evening News quotes Guardiola as saying. "He is winning games, now hes' a winning player. Before he made good actions but now he is able to make winning games.

"We are in November, he has already broken the record so that is top. But not just in terms of goals, he is now strong, keeping the ball - before he would lose a lot of balls, now he is keeping the situation much much better, one against one, to provoke fouls.

"The penalty is more than clear - that's why, that's why. I am impressed but still he's 22 years old, still he can a lot of things improve. If he wants to learn, we will be there to help him."

City are unbeaten in 20 games in all competitions this season.
