Raheem Sterling Reveals Jadon Sancho Made Special Request the Night Before Scoring in 5-3 Kosovo Win

Raheem Sterling has expressed his delight at being able to assist youngster Jadon Sancho to score his first international goals on Tuesday night as England beat Kosovo 5-3.

Sterling revealed the Borussia Dortmund forward made a late-night plea to him ahead of the game against Kosovo in which Sancho begged the Manchester City star to square him the ball if the opportunity came.

The Manchester City star went on to set up both of the 19-year-old's goals, although there is still some doubt as to whether he was trying to chip the keeper or pass to Sancho for the second, which made him the youngest player to score a brace for England since Wayne Rooney.
