# Manchester City: Fans acclaim Raheem Sterling’s form for club and country

**Raheem Sterling has continued his excellent form for Manchester City into the international weekend, having scored for England in their [4-0 win over Bulgaria in Euro 2020 qualifying](https://www.skysports.com/football/england-vs-bulgaria/403318) on Saturday.**

His club alluded to the forward’s impressive performances of late with a tweet containing a flame emoji possibly suggesting their belief that the player is ‘on fire’ for club and country. \[[via @Man City on Twitter](https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1170742181298155523)\]

Sterling netted his ninth senior international goal at Wembley last weekend, seven of which have come in the last 12 months. \[[via TransferMarkt.co.uk](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/nationalmannschaft/spieler/134425/verein_id/3299)\]

[The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/sep/07/england-bulgaria-player-ratings-euro-2020-qualifier) writer Paul McInnes was wholesome in his praise of the 24-year-old’s performance against Bulgaria, saying that he was “[playing at a different level from pretty much everyone else on the pitch](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/sep/07/england-bulgaria-player-ratings-euro-2020-qualifier)“, while [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11804903/raheem-sterlings-england-transformation-continues-with-goal-and-assist-against-bulgaria)‘ Nick Wright felt that he was “[a catalyst for almost every attack](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11804903/raheem-sterlings-england-transformation-continues-with-goal-and-assist-against-bulgaria)” that England mounted.

Sterling has now scored seven goals at [club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdaten/spieler/134425) and [international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/nationalmannschaft/spieler/134425/verein_id/3299) level since the beginning of August, with [five to his name already in the Premier League after only four matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdaten/spieler/134425).

These Manchester City fans on Twitter made their admiration for the player clear:
