Raheem Sterling has sent a warning-type message to Chelsea attacking duo Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz after recent UEFA Champions League performances.
The Blues suffered the same fate under new manager Graham Potter in Europe as a lack of clinical edge up top has seen the two-time winners placed at rock bottom of Group E after the latest RB Salzburg draw. Sterling opened the scoring just after half-time as he picked his spot following a pass across the box from Mason Mount that was dummied by new signing Aubameyang before the former Man City man did the rest.
But despite the domination, Aubameyang and others like Hakim Ziyech missed big chances to seal the deal and win by more than one goal. Unfortunately, this didn't happen, and Noah Okafor's equaliser meant the Austrian Champions remain above their hosts for this game week two clash heading into the doubleheader in match weeks three and four. "It was definitely a frustrating result. With how we played, the chances we created, one chance they got a goal. It's a bad result in the end, but I thought we played some good football at times," he told in-house media post-match.
