Rooney first England player to 50 goals

Three days after Wayne Rooney drew level with Sir Bobby Charlton as England's all-time leading marksman having registered his 49th goal for his country in the UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group E game in San Marino, the forward made the record his own by striking against Switzerland.

The Manchester United attacker's 84th-minute penalty at Wembley on Tuesday, following on from another spot kick in Serraville, came almost 12 years to the day since he opened his national-team account on his sixth England outing, a UEFA EURO 2004 qualifier against FYR Macedonia. With that effort in Skopje, Rooney had become his nation's youngest-ever scorer at 17 years and 317 days – a record that still stands.

The 29-year-old – who burst onto the scene at the 2004 finals in Portugal with four goals – has achieved his feat in 107 appearances, one more than Sir Bobby made during an England career that lasted from 1958 to 1970.

Wayne Rooney's reaction ...
It's a great feeling. I've been close to it obviously the last few England games and to finally do it, it's a dream come true and as you probably saw I was a bit emotional out there.

It's a huge honour I'm extremely proud of and happy it's done. Hopefully I'll kick on from here and concentrate now on hopefully achieving success in the future.
