Fans Are Making The Same Point About Jesse Lingard And Raheem Sterling

Following an impressive performance against the Netherlands, Jesse Lingard once again starred for England versus Italy, as well as Raheem Sterling, and the pair got fans talking about their outing.

After beating the Netherlands 1-0 on Friday night, Gareth Southgate's charges drew 1-a-piece with their Italian counterparts courtesy of VAR.

Through video review, James Tarkowski conceded a penalty on his debut which was subsequently converted by Lorenzo Insigne.

But, that didn't stop England fans from praising Lingard and Sterling.
