However speaking after the game the midfielder told ESPN that Wayne Rooney, who had gone 11 months before Saturday without scoring away from home, is pretty much the best player of all time in England.
"Wayne is our leader. He is the best English player in English history and we are lucky to have him. When he fights like he did today we can be very proud of him. He has always helped me a lot.”
