Gary Neville: 'Raheem Sterling treatment disgusting'

Former England defender Gary Neville hits out at the criticism Raheem Sterling faced on social media on Saturday afternoon.

Former England defender Gary Neville has hit out at the criticism Raheem Sterling received on social media on Saturday afternoon.

Sterling missed a golden chance to send England two goals ahead in the latter stages of the first half of their quarter-final with Sweden at the 2018 World Cup.

The Three Lions still went on to record a 2-0 win - booking their spot in the semi-finals as a result - but Sterling was heavily criticised for his first-half performance against the Swedes in Samara.

Neville has leapt to the defence of the Manchester City attacker, insisting that he put in "a brilliant performance" in the last-eight clash.

Neville told ITV: "The actual treatment at half time of [Sterling] across social media was absolutely disgusting, and isn't representative of the performance he put in.

"To run in-behind [Andreas] Granqvist all that time, he kept getting in and getting in. OK, we didn't have the cherry on the cake, the goal, where all of a sudden you're a hero, but it was a brilliant performance."

England will face either Croatia or Russia in the semi-finals of the World Cup on Wednesday night.
