Gomez replaced Mason Mount in the 70th minute but it was audible that some England fans were booing him.
Sterling was not impressed and took to social media in the immediate aftermath to once again underline that he was at fault for a bust-up between the two earlier this week.
He tweeted: “To all the @England fans, I wanted to leave things at it was but tonight I have to speak again: it was hard for me to see my team mate get booed for something that was my fault.
“Joe hasn’t done anything wrong & for me to see someone who keeps his head down and work hard especially after a difficult week for him to be booed when he came on tonight was wrong.
“I’ve taken full responsibility and accepted the consequence. I felt as though I had to say this get home safe every one #Euro2020.”
England were dominant throughout against Montenegro with Kane netting a hat-trick inside 36 minutes.
It means the Tottenham hitman now has 31 goals for his country and is well on track to compete with Wayne Rooney for the all-time goalscoring record.
England booked their place in Euro 2020 with the win at Wembley.
They finish their qualifying campaign on Sunday when they take on Kosovo.
