Rooney does the double - again

On fire Wayne Rooney scored twice as England took a further step towards qualification for the World Cup 2012 in Minsk on Thursday.
Steven Gerrard fired England ahead just 11 minutes into their 3-1 win over Belarus with a superb 30-yard cracker that will go some way to calming the midfield storm surrounding Gerrard and Lampard currently taking over the English media.
Instead of boosting England's confidence the early lead saw lack of defensive focus for Capello's side that eventually led to Belarus' Sitko equalising in the 28th minute.
But it was Rooney, as has been so often the case during the last few games, that rescued England when he turned in a cross from Wigan's Emile Hesky just five minutes after the break.
The Manchester United striker then hit home a brilliant third goal from a Steven Gerrard pass to give England coach Capello yet another win.
The victory for this new look national side gives England a perfect record of 12 points after winning the opening four games in World Cup qualification - a feat the side has never managed before.
