<p>Wayne Rooney equalled Bobby Charlton’s all-time scoring record as England secured progress to the European Championships, but it is Roy Hodgson’s bemusing decision to take off his captain that will dominate the conversation.</p>
<p>The trip to the microstate of San Marino always looked like a great opportunity for the 29-year-old to draw level with the former Manchester United great, and so it proved on a sunny evening in Serravalle.</p>
<p>Rooney capitalised on a dubious early penalty decision to net a record-equalling 49th international goal, but Hodgson’s puzzling decision to withdraw the forward 58 minutes into the 6-0 win means he will have to wait to usurp Charlton.</p>
<p>It was a rare talking point in a dominant if uninspiring Group E encounter, which saw the English extend their 100% record and become the first side qualify for next summer’s European Championships in France.</p>
<p>Rooney’s early penalty and a Cristian Brolli own goal gave England a comfortable half-time lead – added to seconds after the restart as Ross Barkley scored his first international goal.</p>
<p>Theo Walcott netted either side of a wonderful Harry Kane effort to add extra gloss to a forgetful victory against the side ranked 193rd in the world.</p>
