'Delightful!' - Sterling posts funny response to Morgan hailing his performance

  /  autty

Raheem Sterling hilariously posted a gif of Ainsley Harriott saying 'delightful' in response to Piers Morgan praising him for his performance against Bulgaria on Monday night.

The England and Manchester City star was the victim of racist abuse during the 6-0 win, in which he scored two of the goals and set up another to silence the hateful chants in Sofia.

Morgan hailed Sterling's 'sublime talent' to score against the Bulgarians to perfectly answer the racist fans in attendance.

Morgan tweeted during the game: 'Brilliant goal by @sterling7 - no sweeter way to stuff it up these racist Bulgaria fans than for a black England player to destroy their team with his sublime talent.'

To make light of the situation, Sterling brilliantly responded with TV chef Harriott saying 'delightful' after the game.
