Manchester City opened the scoring against Watford in controversial fashion.

After a goalless first-half, Raheem Sterling bagged his side's first goal of the game a minute into the second-half via a stroke of luck.

Sterling was offside as Sergio Aguero chested the ball into his path with the Watford defender kicking the ball onto his leg, before going in.
