No. Sterling has certainly tried to play the ball so it's offside.

Is running regarded as tired ?

Commentators still moaning about the first goal about offsides. Then an offsides call comes, replay shows sterling was on.... silence.

Sergio is NOT offside. If the goal is disallowed for that, it’s disgraceful. But sorry people, don’t care if I get shit for it. In slo mo, the ball comes off Sergio’s arm. I call it as I see it.
Anyway, don’t give a fuck now. We’ve just scored again as I type this!

I think this is why they are changing the rules next season:

Handballs in goal-scoring situations will no longer have to be deliberate following a decision made by world football's rule-making body, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) said on Saturday.
IFAB's annual general meeting in Aberdeen ruled that intent would no longer be a factor in situations involving goals or goal-scoring opportunities from next season.
"A goal scored directly from the hand/arm (even if accidental) and a player scoring or creating a goal-scoring opportunity after having gained possession/control of the ball from their hand/arm (even if accidental) will no longer be allowed," IFAB said in a statement.
IFAB said the decision would "provide a more precise and detailed definition for what constitutes handball, in particular with regard to the occasions when a non-deliberate/accidental handball will be penalised."

I love it, the media will be furious that it's been given! No different to the penalty given against us the other week though IMO, when Fernandinho fouled Sane in the Schalke game, despite several of their players being offside.
