London: Wayne Rooney marked his 100th cap with a valuable goal as England hit back to beat Slovenia 3-1 on Saturday and preserve their perfect start in Euro 2016 qualifying.

After a dire first half at a subdued Wembley Stadium, Slovenia took a surprise 57th-minute lead when England's Jordan Henderson headed the ball into his own net. But Rooney equalised almost immediately, scoring his 44th England goal from the penalty spot to move level with third-place Jimmy Greaves in the all-time scoring chart, before Danny Welbeck's brace secured victory.
