Rooney’s amazing goal-scoring form continues as his double powers England to victory

England travelled to Belarus for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers with victory being their sole aim.

Before the game, coach Capello avowed his trust in Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney which earned the 22 year old a starting line up place. Belarus scored first but Gerrard equalized from long range moments later.

And then, the marvellous kid, Wayne Rooney finished things off as he bagged two goals for his country. The game ended 3 – 1, a result that almost sealed England’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup in South Africa.

This is England’s best ever start in a qualifying campaign, and Wayne Rooney is part of this incredible history.
