It was a bold question to ask a player who had just scored England’s winner against Croatia, taking his international record to 13 goals in 17 games. He was not in everyone's team at the start of this tournament. Sterling missed all three international games in October as Southgate awarded first starts to Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka. Sterling scored England's first three goals at Euro 2020. One down and with the team looking flustered, Sterling provoked the comeback, the catalyst for the own goal and the debated penalty.
