Major tournaments have not always brought happy memories for Raheem Sterling but he has risen to the occasion at Euro 2020 and become England's most effective player in their run to Sunday's final against Italy.
Coming at Wembley Stadium which he had grown up next to, it was a hugely significant goal for Sterling, who had come off the back of a disappointing season on an individual level with Manchester City despite winning the Premier League title. Sterling also had a point to prove after failing to score in his 12 previous appearances in major tournaments and being partly blamed by the media for England's poor showing at Euro 2016.Coach Southgate referred to Sterling's barren run at tournaments as a"hex" and a curse did seem to be lifted as he struck the only goal against the Czech Republic and got the all-important opener in the last-16 win against Germany.
