Speaking after the 2-0 win, Rooney told ITV Sport: "It's a great feeling obviously.
"I've not always been close to it obviously the last few England games and to finally do it it's a dream come true and as you probably seen i was a bit emotional out there.
"A huge honour i'm extremely proud of and happy it's done and hopefully kick on from here and concentrate now with getting on the team and hopefully success in the future."
