Raheem Sterling had been expected to be dropped for England’s second World Cup Group G game against Panama but was given a reprieve by manager Gareth Southgate.

Here we assess Sterling’s performance in a game when even his Manchester City team-mate John Stones scored twice with two headers from set-pieces.
It looks like Raheem Sterling will start for England against Panama.
Are you happy that Gareth Southgate’s stuck with him?
