Wayne Rooney was delighted with a winning farewell as England defeated the USA 3-0 at Wembley on Thursday night.

Rooney, winning his 120th cap in a fundraiser for his charitable foundation, made a 33-minute appearance on a night England showed their appreciation for their 33-year-old record goalscorer.

He emerged to take the captain's armband with the Three Lions well in control in front of a healthy crowd of 68,155.

Gareth Southgate's side were 2-0 up thanks to two goals in two minutes midway through the first half - Jesse Lingard opening the scoring with a spectacular curling effort, and Trent Alexander-Arnold adding a low, angled drive for his first international goal.

And if it was a memorable night for Rooney, who was denied a dream goal by Brad Guzan's stoppage-time save, it was the same for Bournemouth's Callum Wilson when he crowned his debut with a near-post finish 13 minutes from time.

Southgate said: "The players will have taken on board Wayne Rooney's humility, even after everything he has given to the game.

"He mucked in during training and worked hard in the five-a-sides and in the game he was tracking back.

"We've got really good competition for places and it was a good test for them. We've got a brilliant game to come now, this is what the Nations League is all about."

Rooney also said, "I scored past Brad a few weeks ago.

"If I had scored it would have opened a whole other debate about whether that goal should have counted or not, so it was probably a good thing I didn't."
