Sancho praises Sterling for taking on mentoring role with England youngsters

Raheem Sterling is acting as an inspiration to Jadon Sancho and England's next generation of stars.

Manchester City forward Sterling continued his scintillating recent form with a hat-trick for Gareth Southgate's side against the Czech Republic on Friday, also winning a penalty that was converted by captain Harry Kane in a 5-0 Euro 2020 qualification rout.

Sancho was handed a full competitive debut and responded by laying on Sterling's 24th-minute breakthrough goal amid an eye-catching display.
