England skipper Wayne Rooney was a relieved and thrilled man at the same time following the come-from-behind 2-1 win against Wales on Thursday.

The Three Lions produced a spirited comeback through second-half goals from Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge to claim all three points in Lens and move to the top of Euro2016's Group B.

Rooney says the victory proves that England do not rely on too few as they strive to secure their pathway through to the knockout stages against Slovakia in Saint-Etienne on Monday.

"In the first half I think we did OK actually but we just had to move the ball quicker," he said.

"Unfortunately we went 1-0 down and in the second half the manager made some positive changes. It paid off for us. I thought we were fantastic in the second half. We moved the ball and made Wales work hard.

"We kept the ball, kept probing and got the win in the end. We showed a lot of character today and I am sure everyone in the dressing room will be delighted.

"I think we know as a group of players that we are not just an 11-man team; we have got 23 players in our squad who can all play, are all confident and all trust each other to know that whoever is playing will do a good job. It showed today what a good squad we have got with some very exciting players.

"We played some great stuff and it is a great feeling to win the game in the way we did. That will almost qualify us with one game to go and we will have to finish the job off on Monday."
