Raheem Sterling trolls Chelsea FC fan with perfect response to Man City jibe

Manchester City fans loved Raheem Sterling 's response to a Chelsea supporter who hijacked his latest Instagram post.

Sterling was reminiscing on his time with the Blues, looking back on his debut for the club against West Brom back in August 2015.

The England international asked supporters to comment on his post sharing their favourite memories from his time at the club.

Unsurprisingly, his comment section was filled with responses from rival fans too, with one Chelsea fan referencing the 3-1 win against City back in 2013 at the Etihad Stadium thanks to goals from Eden Hazard, Willian and Diego Costa.

He wrote: "When Hazard, Willian and Costa slotted three against you guys."

Sterling had the perfect response to his jibe, referring the Chelsea fan to the game that took place in February last year, where City defeated the London side 6-0.

The winger opened the scoring on that day after just four minutes and bagged his brace with 10 minutes remaining. A hat-trick from Sergio Aguero and an Ilkay Gundogan penalty completed the rout.

Sterling wrote: "Oh yes and then we scored six, I remember that one."

City fans loved his response and were glad to see the Chelsea fan put in his place.

Here is a selection of their replies:

Sterling had netted 20 goals in all competitions prior to the postponement of football in England but the 25-year-old recently revealed he has fallen short of his target thus far.

He said: "I would say probably I’m about 15 goals off where I want to be. Those are the targets, to try and create good numbers but at the same time not just have numbers to have numbers.

"At the end of the day you want to have trophies to back up that season because 10 years from now you can score a lot of goals, but if I can’t look back on those goals as being important for my team and having a great value then those goals were pointless.

"It is one of those, to try and contribute as much as I can but at the end of the season have some medals to show for it."
