After a dominant first half, Raheem Sterling continued his fine goalscoring form to double Manchester City's lead against Cardiff in Sunday's FA Cup fourth round clash.

Kevin De Bruyne had opened the scoring with a low free kick at the Cardiff City Stadium, but it was Sterling who put daylight between the two sides with a fine header from eight yards.

With just eight minutes to go until half-time, Bernardo Silva swung in a pin-point cross from the left and Sterling peeled away from Bruno Ecuele Manga to head the ball into the ground and past Neil Etheridge in the home goal.

The goal was Sterling's 19th in all competitions so far this season as City look to continue their quadruple challenge.
