Wayne Rooney breaks goal scoring record

Striker Wayne Rooney has broken Sir Bobby Charlton's goal scoring record, to become England's greatest ever goal scorer.

Rooney scored a penalty in England's Euro 2016 qualifying match against Switzerland, taking his goal-scoring tally to 50.

Legendary footballer Sir Bobby Charlton was the previous record holder, who scored 49 goals for England.

After a 2-0 victory Rooney said that breaking the record was a "dream come true" and that he felt very "proud" of his achievement.
