Sterling's maiden international hat-trick helped the Three Lions pummel the Czech Republic to seize control of their Euro 2020 qualification group
He was able to see Wembley from his window when he was a boy. Now, Raheem Sterling is lighting it up.
And any worries that injuries would disrupt the start of England’s Euro 2020 qualification campaign were swiftly put to bed by Sterling against the Czech Republic.
The Three Lions are riding the crest of a wave following a World Cup semi-final run and a successful Nations League group stage and there was no sign of the momentum stopping when the Czechs visited the national stadium on Friday.
