Liverpool boss Rodgers confident over Sterling temperament after Swansea flashpoint

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has no concerns over Raheem Sterling's temperament.

Sterling, 20, has been reveling in his new role as a striker with three goals in five games up front.

But he allowed himself to get wound up by Swansea defender Federico Fernandez and was lucky to escape punishment for putting his hand in his face.

Rodgers said: "Of course there will be moments in the game when the red mist comes across you.

"Of course every player has to handle that but he is a young player that I have got no qualms about how he can deal with those moments."
