And Johnson believes Sterling has the attitude and talent to continue his rise to prominence and become a regular for Liverpool sooner rather than later.

"We were delighted for Raheem to score his first goal and he deserved it," Johnson told the club’s official club website.
"He just takes everything in his stride and is always willing to learn. He has got fantastic attributes and I'm pretty sure and confident that this won't be his last goal in the Premier League that's for sure."
"He is a confident lad every day in training and a good lad as well. He is learning quickly."
Sterling has featured 15 times for Liverpool so far this season, notching a goal and an assist in seven Premier League appearances.

Stoke end battling win at Watford

An own goal by goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes helped earn Stoke City a deserved win as 10-man Watford suffered a first home defeat since August. Gomes could do little as Charlie Adam's header from Xherdan Shaqiri's corner hit the base of the post before ricocheting off the Brazilian and rolling into the net. If there was a touch of fortune about the goal, Stoke were full value for their victory against sluggish opponents who missed out on the chance to climb to sixth in the Premier League table. Watford had defender Miguel Britos sent off in the closing stages for a second yellow card after Gomes had saved well from Bruno Martins Indi, while Stoke's club record £18.3m signing Giannelli Imbula also went close from 25 yards.

Champions League: Ten-man Man City sunk by Barca

Manchester City suffered a setback to their UEFA Champions League hopes after suffering a home defeat to Barcelona on Tuesday night. Manchester City  0-2 Barcelona Manchester City have it all to do to keep their UEFA Champions League dream alive after suffering a 2-0 defeat at home to Barcelona in the first leg of their round of 16 tie. "The team played with courage, with personality, and tried to draw the match with 10 men" Manuel Pellegrini After a goalless first half Manuel Pellegrini's side had to play for most of the second period with 10 men following the dismissal of Martin Demichelis for a foul on Lionel Messi in the 53rd minute.

The result was har...
