Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Since Joe Cole’s goal against Sweden in 2006, Raheem Sterling is the first English Chelsea player to score at a World Cup. Sterling completed an amazing attacking move that featured some clever play by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham to break the 16-year curse.
England scored three goals in a dominating first half to start their World Cup campaign off in spectacular style.
One of many England players to stand out in the first 59 minutes of the lengthy first half was Sterling. England started with a 4-3-3 formation, with Bellingham, a Chelsea teammate, Declan Rice, and Mason Mount starting in a midfield trio.
Since joining Chelsea for £45 million from Manchester City in July, Sterling has drawn criticism for his recent performances, but he has already scored five goals for the Blues this year.
He is a regular for Southgate, and with his first World Cup goal, he has now scored more goals for England than David Beckham, Paul Scholes, and Jermaine Defoe combined.
