England manager Roy Hodgson paid tribute to Wayne Rooney on Friday after a landmark year but said the striker must keep performing well for both club and country ahead of Euro 2016. Rooney, 30, became England's record goalscorer when he converted a penalty against Switzerland in September to surpass Bobby Charlton's long-standing mark of 49. Hodgson, who oversaw a perfect European Championship qualifying campaign with 10 wins from 10, praised the manner in which Rooney handled the pressure and increased media interest associated with the record. "I think he handled that quite brilliantly," Hodgson said.
