# Manchester City: Fans laud Raheem Sterling for reaching 100 EPL goals

**A number of Manchester City fans have been praising Raheem Sterling after he scored his [100th Premier League goal](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/59529640) in the 1-0 win against Wolves on Saturday.**

Pep Guardiola’s men were able to maintain their reign at the top of the Premier League table as the champions gained three points at the weekend, taking them up to [38 points from 16 games this season](https://www.premierleague.com/matchweek/6662/table).

Sterling kept his cool to slot home from the penalty spot in the 66th minute following a [controversial VAR check](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59529640), which ruled that Joao Moutinho had illegally blocked Bernardo Silva’s cross, despite claims that the ball hit the player’s armpit.

The England international joins the [Premier league 100-goal club](https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1469668623132381184) as the 32nd player to ever reach this total in the competition and is the [eighth youngest](https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1469668623132381184) to do so at 27 years and three days of age.

### Lots of Man City fans laud Sterling

In acknowledgement of Sterling’s landmark goal, Manchester City’s official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1469690940692393993) channel shared an artistic image depicting the 27-year-old being greeted by other centurions to the ‘Premier League 100 Club’, including former Etihad Stadium team-mate Sergio Aguero.

Lots of City fans were buzzing upon seeing the tweet, with one describing the England international as ‘King Raz’. Check out some of their reactions below:
