The Manchester United striker had been sent off on his last appearance in the stadium 17 months ago but his behaviour ensured a repeat was never likely to happen.Rooney's goal was his 35th for his country and he is now only five behind fourth-placed Michael Owen in the all-time list of England goalscorers.Gerrard said: "Wayne is a fantastic player and a great goalscorer. If the lads in the team can create the service for Wayne, we know he will score goals.We finished the game really strongly but we are disappointed with the 30 minutes in the second half when we let them back into the game.He also deserves credit for that goalscoring record. Hopefully he will get more goals and fire us to the World Cup.We should have taken control. You need to get that second goal at this level otherwise you are inviting them onto y I also thought his behaviour was magnificent. He had been on the agenda in the press all week with people wondering how he was going to behave.
