Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck score at Wembley as England come from behind to beat Slovenia and continue their 100% start to Euro 2016 qualifying.

Wayne Rooney scored on his 100th England appearance as the Three Lions fought back from a goal down to beat Slovenia 3-1 and continue their 100% start to Euro 2016 qualifying.

In a first half of few clear-cut openings, England failed to hit the target with any of the half-chances that came their way.

Raheem Sterling, Danny Welbeck and Wayne Rooney were all guilty of misfiring with decent shooting opportunities as, down the other end, Milivoje Novakovic headed wide with Slovenia's best chance.

Phil Jagielka headed England's first shot on target straight at Samir Handanovic in the Slovenia goal before the visitors silenced Wembley in the 57th minute.

Andraz Kirm swung over a free kick into a dangerous area that Jordan Henderson, at full stretch, inadvertently flicked over Joe Hart into his own net. It was the first goal that Roy Hodgson's side had conceded in this qualifying campaign.

England were behind for just a couple of minutes as Rooney won a penalty before his powerful spot kick had just enough on it to beat Handanovic, who had saved the previous five penalties that he had faced.

Not long after, England were in front for the first time when Adam Lallana's cross-cum-shot took a slight deflection causing Handanovic to pop the ball back into the danger zone, where Welbeck scruffily turned home.

The Arsenal man was at it again six minutes later, exchanging a neat one-two with Sterling before slotting into the corner.

The remaining 20 minutes or so were played out at a leisurely pace, with England going six points clear in Group E.
