England boss effusive after captain's late goal sinks gritty Slovenia
England manager Roy Hodgson lauded captain Wayne Rooney's bravery and leadership after the Manchester United striker's late goal procured a 3-2 road victory against Slovenia in 2016 European Championship qualifying on Sunday.
It appeared destined to be a day to forget for Rooney, who slammed two gilt-edged chances over the crossbar and took an arm to the face from home captain Bostjan Cesar during the Group E match in Ljubljana.
