Raheem Sterling’s performance in Chelsea’s 4-1 victory over Burnley earlier today at Turf Moor has manager Mauricio Pochettino gushing.
Mauricio Pochettino was quick to praise Raheem Sterling when speaking to the BBC because he contributed to three of Chelsea’s goals, including their third of the game.
After his brace against Luton Town in August, it was the winger’s third goal of the year.
For the first time this season, Pochettino’s team has now won consecutive games in the top flight.
Mauricio Pochettino very pleased with Raheem Sterling
Pochettino expressed his delight at Sterling’s performance after the game, saying: “I think he needs to feel the net and he is a player with experience who can provide a very good thing for the team.
He contributed to the first goal, an own goal, after creating a penalty and scoring later.
Being an experienced player, he has a lot to offer the group.
Message for Gareth Southgate.
The most recent England team did not include Sterling, and the previous one did not either.
But Southgate was reminded of his potential by his performance against Burnley.
If the Three Lions have a difficult time during this international break, many people may question Southgate’s decision to not call up the 28-year-old, who cost Chelsea £50 million when he joined from Manchester City in 2022.
Prior to Burnley’s victory, Sterlng wasn’t in the best of form.
Since the win over Luton, he had not scored.
But he played well today, and if he can maintain this level of play, he will have a strong chance of being called up to the England squad.
When the Premier League resumes after this most recent round of international competition, Chelsea at least won’t have to worry about their wide player getting hurt ahead of a crucial match against Arsenal.

To provide Pochettino with more firepower, Chelsea placed four strikers on a “transfer shortlist.”
The Blues beat Fulham on Monday night to get back on the winning track.
According to reports, Chelsea’s recruiting team has identified four talented attackers to target in upcoming transfer windows
In the beginning of his tenure at Stamford Bridge, Mauricio Pochettino had to deal with injury problems and wastefulness, and he has yet to find a reliable solution up top.
On Monday night, Armando Broja presented his own argument by scoring the second goal in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Fulham, capitalizing on his first Chelsea start in nearly a year.
An equally unexpected goal scorer was Mykhaylo Mudryk, who had just scored his first Premier League goal.
Chelsea had scored just five goals in its first six league games of the season, though, prior to the start of the match at Craven Cottage.
Concerns have also been raised about summer signing Nicolas Jackson’s poor performance and injured Christopher Nkunku.
The Blues have reportedly added four strikers to their list of potential transfers in order to complete a significant deal next summer, according to CaughtOffside.
After a difficult few weeks at Napoli, Victor Osimhen is thought to be the best option and may try to force his way out of Serie A.
The social media executive resigned after the Nigerian’s agent threatened to sue the Azzurri over an offensive TikTok video posted by the team.
Osimhen has made no secret of his desire to play in the Premier League.
During the summer, he was heavily linked with Manchester United before they decided to sign Rasmus Hojlund.
Ivan Toney is reportedly also on Chelsea’s hit list.
Only Harry Kane and Erling Haaland scored more goals in the Premier League last season than the Brentford striker, who recently switched agents in an apparent effort to test his abilities at a higher level.
Evan Ferguson, a talented young player from Brighton, is also thought to be a player of interest at Stamford Bridge.
The 18-year-old has scored four goals in a little more than 300 minutes of top-flight action so far this season, and many anticipate that he will continue to improve and have a successful career.
The fourth and final name up for consideration is Santiago Gimenez, it is believed.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Argentina and plays for Mexico on the international stage, has scored freely since moving to Europe last year.
Gimenez has scored 10 goals in the Eredivisie so far this season, averaging over a goal per game.
His outstanding hat-trick in the rivalry game against Ajax last week contributed to this astounding statistic
