Sterling: I had to look it up on Google! Raheem Sterling has explained why a quip by Brendan Rodgers had him scouring Google on Sunday night. Earlier that afternoon, the winger produced a blistering display to help Liverpool comprehensively dispatch Tottenham Hotspur 3-0. Sterling set the Reds on their way by opening the scoring after just eight minutes and could have netted a goal-of-the-season contender in the second half when he danced beyond the entire Spurs defence inside a crowded box, but was unable to produce the finish the move deserved. Afterwards, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, Rodgers joked: He dribbled through the Spurs defence like Ricky Villa, but his finish was more like Ricky Gervais! However, at the age of just 19, Sterling admits he needed to do a bit of research to understand the pun, given he was just six when Gervais shot to prominence with hit sitcom The Office and wasnt even born when Villa dazzled to help Spurs win the FA Cup in 1981. I didnt understand what the gaffer said when I was first told about it, the winger revealed. But then I typed both names into Google, so now I know. The boss joked about my effort and said it was like a babys shot. Hes given me a bit of stick for it but my finishing is something Im working on. Hopefully, next time, Ill score two.
