Premier League 100 club: Raheem Sterling moves level with Steven Gerrard

sportsmole.co.uk, 25 November 2023, 20:16
Chelsea suffered an afternoon to forget at St James' Park on Saturday, with Newcastle United running out 4-1 winners and the Blues seeing their captain Reece James sent off to compound their misery.

However, on an individual level there was another goal for Raheem Sterling, who took his overall Premier League tally to 120 with his equaliser midway through the first half.

In doing so, Sterling moved level with his former Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard in the all-time list of Premier League goalscorers, with a place in the top 20 now just one goal away as he next sets his sights on Romelu Lukaku's total.

Elsewhere, Mohamed Salah missed the chance to climb into the top 10 with his 150th goal as he drew a blank against Manchester City, although he did register an assist in Liverpool's 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest standings in the Premier League 100 club following Sterling's strike.
