England got their Euro 2020 campaign off to a victorious start as they battled their way to a 1-0 win over Croatia at Wembley on Sunday.
Gareth Southgate's team avenged their 2018 World Cup semi-final defeat to Croatia after Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling scored in the 57th minute. It was Sterling's first goal at a major tournament.
Sterling justified Southgate's decision to keep his faith in him by scoring at a balmy Wembley.
"I always said if I played at Wembley in a major tournament, I'm scoring. I had to score in my back garden and delighted to do that," Sterling said.
England thus won their opening game at a European Championship for the first time in 10 attempts.
