Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney said he was "extremely proud" to become England fifth all-time leading goalscorer after his brace against San Marino took him past the likes of Alan Shearer.
Rooney now has 31 goals for England, with the two-goal tally taking his beyond Tom Finney, Nat Lofthouse and Shearer.
The United forward, who also captained the England side for the San Marino game in a 5-0 win, where teammate Danny Welbeck also scored two goals, is now only behind Michael Owen (40), Jimmy Greaves (44), Gary Lineker (48) and Sir Bobby Charlton (49).
"Obviously it's a great honour for me, there are some great players there," Rooney told ITV Sport. "To be in England's top five goalscorers of all time is something I'm extremely proud of.
"Hopefully there are many more goals to come. I'm still only 26, I've got a long way to go, so hopefully I can score a lot more."
Despite the 5-0 win, some critics suggested England could have done better against the minnows, but Rooney was satisfied with the performance and more importantly to come away with all three points. "We possibly could have scored more," Rooney said.
"We created some good chances and their goalkeeper made some good saves. There was maybe a bit of poor finishing but it's not that easy when the opposition get ten or eleven men behind the ball and defend.
"It was difficult to break them down at times. We just had to keep moving the ball quickly and create chances. We managed to do that and we scored five goals so it wasn't a bad result."
Meanwhile, former Red Devil Mikael Silvestre is training at Carrington with the United team in a bid to stay fit as the Frenchman looks to find a new club. Silvestre was released by German team Werder Bremen at the end of last season, after making 27 appearances in all competitions.
"I am back here to train," Silvestre told the club's official website. "I came a few weeks ago and had a chat with the gaffer just before the Capital One Cup game. I said I was coming back to Manchester until Christmas and he said, 'Come and train and stay fit until you move to somewhere else.'
"When you are training with the lads you feel like you are still capable of playing in the Premier League. I am fit, that is the main point, and I still have the hunger for the game. So this level is still the level that I am targeting.
"I have always kept in touch with the club and I almost know everybody here still. There have been some changes in my four years away but there is also a lot of continuity within this club."
Silvestre believes new signing Alexander Buttner will keep first-choice left-back Patrice Evra on his toes. "I only saw the highlights of the game when Alex started and scored (against Wigan)," he said. "It doesn't get better than starting at Old Trafford and scoring a goal.
"Patrice has been there and has been solid in this role, but there hasn't been any cover for him so he has played a lot of games for United and France. That has demanded a lot of Patrice and it is important to keep the players on their toes and to have fresh legs.
"There are so many games so you need to rotate at some point. Especially because United full-backs do not just sit back and defend, they go and attack and provide width too."
