Watch Raheem Sterling send whole of England wild after stunning build-up play and goal against Germany at Euro 2020

RAHEEM STERLING send the whole of England into mad jubilation after a priceless goal against Germany.

The Manchester City star has been the country's brightest hope at Euro 2020 so far having netted three of the Three Lions' four tournament strikes.

The 26-year-old's direct running kick-started the move as he turned and fizzed a ball into Harry Kane who was on the edge of the area.

The Spurs striker was allowed to get his head up and send a pass wide to the onrushing Luke Shaw.

The Manchester United left-back then delivered an inch-perfect low cross which Sterling allowed to come across his body and slot past Manuel Neuer.

Scenes of mass jubilation at Wembley were sparked as the City winger raced away in celebration with his arms wide.

Fortunately for Sterling and England, he was then given an almighty let-off just minutes later after his loose pass let Thomas Muller through on goal.

Wembley fell deafly silent as the veteran striker strode towards Jordan Pickford's goal, with many expecting the back of the net to bulge.

But thankfully for Three Lions fans across the world, Muller dragged his effort wide of Pickford's far post.

England then punished their arch-rivals late on as Kane nodded a second to seal a famous win.

After Shaw ran at the German defence, super-sub Grealish centered for Kane to score with a stooping header.

England will now face Ukraine on Saturday in Rome for a spot in the last four following their 2-1 win over ten-man Sweden.
