Sterling scored two and assisted one against the Hatters.
Mauricio PochettinoSterling scored two great goals either side of the break before setting summer signing Nicolas Jackson up for his first Blues goal.
The England star was deservedly named player of the match, with a display reminiscent of his best days with Manchester City – something that has scarce been seen since he moved to Stamford Bridge last summer. This can perhaps be attributed to Potter who often played the forward out of position and in deeper roles during his disastrous few months in charge.
But under Pochettino, Sterling looks reborn and he was keen to stress the impact his new boss has had in that, as well as the importance of playing in the right way. ‘I was happy, obviously I think we started half decent against Liverpool and then with the loss last week [against West Ham] we needed to get a win here, I’m just happy to contribute with that, the 28-year-old told Sky Sports post-match.
