Raheem Sterling is really good and destroyed Chelsea for a goal

Liverpool were trailing Chelsea in the League Cup ... until Raheem Sterling had his say.

In the first leg of Liverpool's League Cup tie with Chelsea, Raheem Sterling was arguably the best player on the pitch early in the match, but kept getting frustrated by last-second blocks from Gary Cahill and Thibaut Courtois. And so Liverpool were left trailing 1-0 as the hour mark approached.

Then Sterling did this.

That’s just unfair. The run, the little touch to get an extra step of space, the cross-body blast to the far post with his weaker(!) foot. All of it. The most insane part? Sterling is just 20 years old and can do that. He’s one of the best players in England already, and he’s only going to get better.
