Raheem Sterling has scored 18 goals for the England national team. His most recent goal came against Hungary earlier this week.

Sterling plays as a winger and isn’t the most physically dominant attacker. It is obvious that his numbers won’t match the stats of world-class number 9s, but he has actually done well for himself in the Three Lions setup as he bagged 18 goals.

After his striker against Hungary, How many goals has Raheem Sterling scored for England?

His most recent goal might not have been the most important goal for England, but it was certainly the most satisfactory. The Three Lions took on Hungary in a FIFA World Cup qualifiers game in Budapest on Wedesnday.

The fans hurled racist abuse at Sterling, who responded in brilliant fashion by scoring and shutting them up. They won the game 4-0 and Sterling’s goal will be remembered as the strike that silenced 60,000 Hungary fans that day.

FIFA even released a statement at the end of the game and hopefully, Hungary have to play without their fans for the near future as punishment.

“First and foremost, FIFA strongly rejects any form of racism and violence and has a very clear zero-tolerance stance for such behaviour in football. FIFA will take adequate actions as soon as it receives match reports concerning yesterday’s Hungary-England game. With regards to the previous UEFA sanction against Hungary, please note that as specified by UEFA at the time, this sanction is to be served in UEFA competitions.”
