Rooney roars into record book

England manager Roy Hodgson challenged Wayne Rooney to emulate Bobby Charlton's World Cup-winning exploits after he broke the 77-year-old's scoring record by netting his 50th international goal against Switzerland on Tuesday.

The England captain lashed in a late penalty in the 2-0 victory in a Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley to become the nation's all-time leading scorer.

Charlton led a flood of tributes to Rooney after the game and with the Manchester United captain not due to turn 30 until next month, Hodgson believes the striker can stretch the record and emulate Charlton by leading England to global glory.
