Amid the rain of falling plastic cups, Rice picked up one of them and made a gesture that made it seem like he was actually drinking from one of the cups.
Manchester City’s 100 million pound man Jack Grealish also seemed to enjoy the ‘attention’ they were getting from the away fans and he was also spotted ‘drinking’ from one of the cups.
The likes of Harry Kane and Kalvin Phillips showed some leadership as they shielded scorer Sterling from the irate crowd who were jeering the England team wildly.
Deservedly, once England went ahead, there was no doubt in the result.
After a slow start in the first half, Sterling’s goal broke the duck and the Euro 2020 finalists went in for the kill, with Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Declan Rice completing the scoring in a 4-0 rout.
Gareth Southgate’s boys are currently unbeaten in Group I and are looking good in their quest to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
Sterling dedicates goal to late friend
One sentimental subplot of the England win was Raheem Sterling’s celebration after his opener.
The Manchester City winger took off his shirt to reveal a message paying homage to one of his close friends who sadly passed away recently.
