    Roy Hodgson sets record Wayne Rooney new goal


    Wayne Rooney has become England’s record goalscorer by firing home his 50th international goal as the Three Lions beat Switzerland 2-0 in Euro 2016 qualifying.
    The Manchester United striker broke Sir Bobby Charlton’s record by scoring in the second-half from the penalty spot after Raheem Sterling was taken down in the box.
    Tottenham’s Harry Kane grabbed England’s opening goal on the night shortly after coming on as a substitute.
    Rooney equalled Sir Bobby’s tally of 49 goals in the previous England match against San Marino by slotting home another spot-kick.
    He was subbed off relatively early in that match with some suggesting that he’d prefer to break the record in front of a home crowd at Wembley, which he did.
    United and England legend Charlton will present him with an award next month.
    Rooney has plenty of years in front of him and will be expected to widen the gap between him and Charlton and raise the bar for England’s next superstar to match.
