England national football team cruised to another convincing victory after thrashing Montenegro 5-1 in the ongoing UEFA Euro qualifiers on Monday night.
Two goals from Ross Barkley and one each from Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Michael Keane ensured Gareth Southgates men recorded yet another impressive result in about four days.
Sterling's goal made it four goals in his lat two matches for the English national team, having scored hat-trick in their 5-0 win over Czech Republic last Friday.
However, in a rather unfortunate turn of events, the Manchester City star, alongside teammate Danny Rose were subjected to racial abuse in Montenegro as fans hurled lighters on them.
Sterling, who had the last laugh has now taken to Twitter to shut down his critics with the perfect response.
The 24-year-old tweeted a photo of himself celebrating his well-taken goal during the clash by cupping his ears to Montenegro fans.

Meanwhile, fans and pundits have weighed in on the incident, with some now slamming UEFA for not doing enough to counter racism on players.
England boss, Gareth Southgate, has since confirmed the incident will be reported, adding he clearly heard racist chants directed towards his wards.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Raheem Sterling is hungry for more success with Manchester City as the 2018-19 campaign enters critical stage across Europe.
SunSport quoting Sport360 reports that the England forward is upbeat the Citizens can win the remaining three competitions they are involved this term.
At the last count, the 24-year-old Sterling has netted 19 times for the Pep Guardiola tutored-side so far, ending Tuesday’s UCL tie against Schalke as City captain for the very first time.
Best way to silence the haters (and yeah I mean racists) 🙉😘 #2019 #getsomeeducation pic.twitter.com/ohhkOJtdey— Raheem Sterling (@sterling7) 25 March 2019
