Sterling worth his weight in gold as lucky Liverpool win

Reuters: Raheem Sterling may be tired but he will not get a rest any time soon if he continues to prove decisive for a Liverpool side who relied on his incisive running and a lot of luck to beat Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.

Far from proving a distraction the club-versus-country rumpus that erupted in the week, when the teenager told England manager Roy Hodgson he was feeling fatigue in his legs, seemed to be the catalyst for a performance full of aggressive intent. Sterling had a hand in all three Liverpool goals in a 3-2 victory over QPR, with a jaw-dropping finale that included four strikes after the 86th minute and the winner arriving five minutes into stoppage time. That knockout blow, which started with a QPR free kick and ended with Sterling turning on the afterburners and crossing low for an unfortunate Steven Caulker to turn the ball into his own net, was a stinging sucker punch for the hosts who dominated the encounter and should have been home and dry before halftime. As it was, they fluffed a string of chances and allowed Sterling to become increasingly influential.
