Hodgson: Matchwinner Rooney knows he should be doing better

England coach Roy Hodgson says Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will be frustrated by his missed chances in Estonia.

England failed to break down an Estonia team that played with 10 men for the final 43 minutes because of a red card for captain Ragnar Klavan.

Hodgson's men fluffed chance after chance, with Rooney the main culprit.

Although he scored the winner with a dipping free-kick, the Manchester United captain should have taken three other chances to put the game beyond doubt.

"Wayne Rooney is a very self-critical person," Hodgson said.

"He is happy to score the winning goal, but he knows he and his fellow forwards could have had so many more."
