Kampusbet - Wayne Rooney hailed by England boss Roy Hodgson after record-breaking Switzerland strike
Agen MaxbeT - Roy Hodgson has hailed Wayne Rooney's 'amazing achievement' after the England skipper became the Three Lions' all-time record goalscorer.
Rooney's
50th international strike made him the first England player to ever
reach the half-century, surpassing the 49 goals Sir Bobby Charlton
scored for his country.
It looked as if the wait would have to go
on for the Manchester United striker, until Raheem Sterling won a late
penalty in England's Euro 2016 qualifier with Switzerland.
Rooney stepped up and lashed the ball into the roof of the net, to seal a 2-0 victory on the night, and write his name into the history books.
Speaking
to ITV after the game, Hodgson said: “It’s an amazing achievement. I’m
delighted for him - we’ve all just congratulated him in the dressing
room.
“My mind also goes to Bobby Charlton - it would be interesting to
hear his thoughts. He’s one of our greatest ever players and I hope he’s
pleased his record has been passed.
“All records are there to be passed, and he’ll be pleased it was Wayne who did it as a fellow Manchester United man.

“It’s a proud moment for him and his family, and it was great to participate in it and enjoy the moment with him.”
Despite his pride in Rooney, Hodgson was less enthused about England's overall performance.
It wasn't until Harry Kane was introduced in the second half that
they broke the deadlock, with the Tottenham forward turning home Luke
Shaw's cross, before Rooney sealed the deal late in the piece.
Hodgson added: “We need to keep improving. Today we won but we’ve played better. We were a bit fortunate to win 2-0.
“The first half disappointed me, but the second half was better. We weren’t anything like we can be in the first half.
“Luckily
at half time, we pulled together and came out after the break and
played much better. It wasn’t an easy game and Switzerland will consider
themselves hard done by.”
