Watch: Raheem Sterling hat-trick boosts Manchester City

Manchester: Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the English Premier League to four points after a hat-trick from forward Raheem Sterling saw them beat Watford 3-1 here.

Sterling's first goal in the 46th minute at the Etihad Stadium here on Saturday evening was highly contentious.

Sterling was clearly offside when Sergio Aguero played the ball to him before Watford full back Daryl Janmaat's challenge saw the ball ricochet off the England forward into the goal, reports Efe news.

The assistant referee raised his flag for offside, but after a lengthy discussion without the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), the goal was allowed to stand.

City's second goal came just four minutes later when Sterling tapped in from Riyad Mahrez's cross from the right.

City were rampant and the game was effectively settled less than 10 minutes later when the England winger completed his hat-trick with a cool finish past Ben Foster after being played in by David Silva's clever reverse pass down the left.

He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added.
