Rooney equals Charlton's record of 49 England goals
Wayne Rooney equalled Bobby Charlton's 45-year-old England scoring record on Saturday when he netted his 49th international goal in a 2016 European Championship qualifier away to San Marino.
The England captain converted a 13th-minute penalty to give England the lead in Serravalle after the Cypriot referee spotted a foul in the box.
Rooney's goal gave the 29-year-old Manchester United striker an identical international record to Charlton, a member of England's fabled 1966 World Cup-winning team, with his 49th goal coming in his 106th appearance.
He now requires one goal to become the first England player to score a half-century of goals.
