Raheem Sterling was involved in a bizarre encounter after Chelsea’s crazy 4-4 draw with Manchester City.
The Blues forward and stoppage-time penalty scorer Cole Palmer were asked to give their post-match views after their pivotal roles in securing a point against their former club at Stamford Bridge.
But the interview took a strange turn when Sky Sports reporter Patrick Davison appeared to spot grass in Sterling’s eye.

‘Oh you’ve got… come here,’ he said, but the Chelsea man resisted and replied: ‘You’re gonna put some more dirt in my eye.’
The smiling England star pushed it away and wiped his eye with his own shirt.
Davison then admitted he could not remember his question.
It was a strange ending to a high-quality contest saw City lead in contentious circumstances with Erling Haaland converting from the spot after Marc Cucurella was adjudged to have pulled the Norwegian down.
Chelsea turned the game around when Thiago Silva glanced home Conor Gallagher’s corner at the near post and Raheem Sterling, another City old boy, turned in Reece James’ cross.

But City were level before the break as the unmarked Manuel Akanji headed in Bernardo Silva’s cross.
City went in front again when Haaland scrambled in Julian Alvarez’s cross at the far post two minutes after the restart.
Yet Chelsea again battled back and drew level in the 67th minute, with Nicolas Jackson pouncing after Ederson pushed out Gallagher’s low drive.
Rodri thought he had won it for City when his 86th-minute drive took a wicked deflection, but Palmer kept his nerve to give Chelsea a deserved share of the spoils.
