Former England international Stuart Pearce has heaped huge praise on Raheem Sterling following the forward’s splendid display against the Czech Republic.
Sterling scored a hat-trick as a rampant England stormed to a 5-0 win at Wembley to get their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign off to the perfect start.

It was a special night for Sterling
Harry Kane and Tomas Kalas’ comical own goal were the other scorers for the Three Lions.
It was a great display from Gareth Southgate’s men as they continue their good momentum from last summer’s performance at the World Cup, where they reached the semi-finals.
However, Sterling’s form has changed dramatically as the Manchester City man was somewhat of a villain among Three Lions supporters for missing a number of chances in Russia.
But the 24-year-old is a new man this season, having netted twice during England’s fantastic victory away to Spain in the UEFA Nations League in October.

Sterling has scored 15 goals in 27 Premier League appearances this season, excellent form considering the personal adversity he’s had to overcome with a group of Chelsea fans allegedly racially abusing him during a match at Stamford Bridge in December.
And Pearce was very impressed with Sterling’s performance and gave special praise to the player’s character, saying Sterling “has won a lot of people over with his football.”
Pearce told talkSPORT: “I think he’s won a lot of people over with his football. I really do.

“He was the only player at the World Cup that there were question marks around and unfairly I think as well. There was no need to heap that pressure on a young player like him.
“The one thing that impresses me about him is that when he plays under pressure and if he’s not doing particularly well, he doesn’t shirk. He doesn’t go and hide.
“That’s why he sticks out, he still receives the ball, he still plays every game and the amount of games he’s played for Manchester City and his country without ducking performances is commendable.â€
