Brits Abroad: Trent & Rashford roasted by Spanish press

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere.

Sterling snaps back at laughing reporter after first Feyenoord start

Raheem Sterling was left visibly unimpressed following Feyenoord’s chaotic 3-3 draw with NAC Breda after a reporter appeared to laugh while questioning the winger about a missed scoring opportunity. Making his first start for the Eredivisie giants, Sterling was taken off after 64 minutes and was left baffled when his interviewer asked if he'd rather have stayed on the pitch.
