England 5-0 Czech Republic: Sterling treble gets Three Lions off to perfect start in Euro 2020 qualifying

Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick for England as the Three Lions secured a 5-0 win in Euro 2020 qualifying at Wembley Stadium on Friday evening.

The Manchester City man gave Gareth Southgate s men the lead mid-way through the first period as he stabbed home Jadon Sancho s excellent cross. Harry Kane then extended the advantage in the final seconds of the first period with a powerful spot-kick. Sterling was then on the scoresheet twice more as he showed great instincts to curl home before netting again via a deflected strike only six minutes later.

A late own goal from Tomáš Kalas rounded off a perfect evening for the Three Lions.

Simple finish for Sterling
