Martial and Sterling reach lovely feats in Sunday's Manchester Derby
The game handed opposite results to Martial and Sterling but both came away from the game having recorded excellent feats. Starting off with the Man United attacker, he became the first player to score both home and away against Man City in a single season since a certain legend by the name of Cristiano Ronaldo.
