Apologies for probably being overly excited but Liverpool starlet Raheem Sterling once again showed yesterday why everyone is tipping him for great things.

It wasn’t his only contribution to the match though. Only nine minutes had passed when the left winger had his first attempt on goal. He smashed in a fantastic drive past the Rwandan ‘keeper only for his shot to rebound off the post. He was proving to be a massive threat on the left hand side of midfield and he turned provider for Everton striker Hallam Hope when he delivered an excellent cross to the youngster’s head, only for the attempt on goal to once again rebound off the post.
