Fans have lauded Raheem Sterling after the England star continued his excellent form at Euro 2020 with a wonderful pass for Harry Kane's goal against Ukraine.

The Manchester City star cut in off the left and then played a crafty ball in behind the defence which the Three Lions captain latched on to to put Gareth Southgate's men ahead in their quarter-final in Rome.

Opta highlighted that it was the sixth time Sterling has assisted Kane for England, the most one player has assisted another for the Three Lions in all competitions in the 21st century.
