Sterling breaks silence to slam England fans for Gomez boos

Raheem Sterling has tweeted his disappointment at England fans who booed Joe Gomez as the Liverpool defender was brought on in the Three Lions’ 7-0 Euro 2020 qualifying win over Montenegro on Thursday.

The pair were involved in an altercation at St George’s Park earlier in the week after tension between them in Liverpool’s 3-1 Premier League win over Manchester City on Sunday.

Sterling, who watched from the stands, having been dropped for the game as a result, had already taken full responsibility for the incident, and repeated this after Thursday’s game.
