Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola hailed Raheem Sterling's two-goal performance for their Carabao Cup win over Burnley.

Sterling scored his first goals of the season to send Manchester City into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win at Turf Moor.

"Yeah," said City boss Pep Guardiola when asked if Sterling can cover for injured pair Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

“Raheem has ability wherever he plays. I am incredibly delighted and happy with what Raheem gives me personally, but also this team, since we arrived four years ago.

“I was convinced he was a guy with incredible qualities. He can play every three days, his recovery, his desire to improve - he is a fantastic guy.

“I think he has improved a lot since we arrived, with his work ethic and dedication. With his finishing he knows he can do more, but he's grown up a lot."

On Ferran Torres, the manager was pleased with the performance.

“Yeah, [he was] good," he added.

“He is a young player and still needs a little bit of time to understand what we want to do.

"He is clever in the final third with his passes. He doesn't cross to cross. He passes the ball."
