‘Sterling has taken his game to another level’ – Southgate lauds ‘exceptional’ England winger after Iceland win

Raheem Sterling has “taken his game to another level”, according to Gareth Southgate, who has lauded the “exceptional” England winger after Saturday’s win over Iceland.

England took to the field for the first time in ten months against Iceland in Reykjavik over the weekend, and recorded a 1-0 victory to open their latest UEFA Nation’s League campaign on a positive note.

Sterling proved to be the match-winner on the night, as he won a late penalty before stepping up to coolly convert from 12 yards himself.
