Raheem Sterling goal or Gabriel Jesus? Watch Man City winger 'steal' FA Cup final goal on the line

Raheem Sterling or Gabrel Jesus? That was the only question after Manchester City's well-worked second goal at Wembley put them 2-0 up in the FA Cup final against Watford.

Bernardo Silva's perfectly weighted pass picked out Jesus at the back post, who had been given a rare start ahead of Sergio Aguero leading the City line. 

The Brazilian did well to get to the ball ahead of Heurelho Gomes and steer it past the Watford goalkeeper into the empty net – but as he turned away to celebrate, his team-mate snuck in.

Sterling sneakily slammed the ball into the goal on the line, and replays seemed to suggest all of the ball hadn't quite crossed all of the line. 

However, the goal was officially awarded to Jesus, which meant Sterling did not score a hat-trick as he went on to add two goals in a 6-0 rout.

Take a look at the video above and make your own mind up.
