A dream come true, says Manchester City hero Sterling

Having spent much of his childhood living just a stone's throw from Wembley, Sterling's latest homecoming couldn't have gone much better and he was delighted to make such a significant contribution in front of his family and friends. "I grew up here and saw this stadium get built. It's a massive dream come true to win trophies here," Sterling said. "The boys did brilliant. My goals added to the win. It was brilliant from everyone."
