VIDEO: Man City's Raheem Sterling Scores First Goal of Resumed Premier League Season
By Michael Luciano
Manchester City's Raheem Sterling triumphantly announced the return of Premier League soccer by putting Pep Guardiola's side up 1-0 against Arsenal in the second game of league action following their coronavirus-induced shutdown. Sterling smacked a shot into the top left corner, just sneaking it past Gunners goalie Bernd Leno, after some poor defending from Arsenal's David Luiz allowed the ball to fall right at Sterling's feet.

Even without fans in the stands and games being played in mid-June, Sterling is still scoring belters and the Brazilian center back keeps making errors.
That feels so normal that it's almost as if the Premier League never even left.
