Wayne Rooney breaks England record

Wayne Rooney smashed Bobby Charlton’s record and became England’s greatest ever goalscorer with a fine penalty in the 2-0 win over Switzerland at Wembley last night.

Rooney had toiled throughout the Euro 2016 qualifier against the Swiss but eventually found the net from the penalty spot in the 84th minute after Raheem Sterling was fouled in the box.

The England skipper rifled a fierce shot past Yann Sommer from 12 yards to break Charlton’s 45-year old record.
