That was trademark Raheem Sterling – and it's not often we've been able to say that.
There was a lot of excitement and expectation when Chelsea signed the 28-year-old in July of last year from Manchester City. After a seven-year spell at the Citizens that ended with 10 major honours and 131 goals, a move back to London, a place Sterling considers home, saw him end up at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling was Thomas Tuchel's 'marquee' attacking signing in what turned out to be a very busy first transfer window for Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital at Chelsea. Three goals in his opening five games for the Blues saw the England international make a fast start to life in west London but things became increasingly difficult for the winger after that.
