England international striker Wayne Rooney has hailed the debut of Andros Townsend for the Three Lions against Montenegro at Wembley on Friday.

The 22-year-old Tottenham Hotspur winger scored on his maiden cap for his country as Roy Hodgson's side won their World Cup qualifying Group H match 4-1.

It was some debut," Rooney told reporters. "In such a high-pressure game to perform like that was incredible."

England are currently at the top of the group with 19 points from nine matches.
