Analysis: England 2-1 Australia

Marcus Rashford became England's third youngest goalscorer as the teenage Manchester United striker netted after 135 seconds of his international debut in his team's 2-1 win over Australia.

Rashford's meteoric rise hit new heights at the Stadium of Light when he opened the scoring in the Euro 2016 warm-up with a cool volley from Raheem Sterling's deflected cross in the third minute.

Receiving possession 25 yards from goal, Rashford moved the ball onto Raheem Sterling before advancing into the penalty area.

When Sterling's cross deflected off Bailey Wright and looped high into the air, Rashford adjusted his stride and hit a close-range volley that flashed under Australia goalkeeper Mathew Ryan.

Rashford's bashful expression as he emerged from a huddle of his jubilant team-mates gave the impression his historic strike was nothing out of the ordinary for a kid who grew up in the modest Manchester suburb of Wythenshawe.

In contrast, Rooney, watching from the bench, was beaming from ear to ear and the comparisons between the United striker and his young protégé will continue to grow.

Fittingly, Rashford's international debut came against the same Australian opposition Rooney faced when he made his England bow.

And Rooney had scored his first international goal when England last played at the Stadium of Light, against Turkey in 2003.

Jose Mourinho, newly installed as United manager, will know he has a real talent on his hands in Rashford.

Yet the teenager remains understandably raw and wasted a chance for a second goal with a poor first touch after Sterling's pass picked him out.

England, at times sloppy in defence and careless in possession, wasn't flawless either.

But Rooney and James Milner came on for Lallana and Wilshere at half-time to restore order and the captain netted in the 55th minute.

Sterling rampaged down the left and picked out Rooney, who lashed a blistering finish into the roof of the net from the edge of the area for his 52nd international goal.

Rashford departed to a standing ovation in the 63rd minute before the Socceroos, for whom midfielder Aaron Mooy was the standout, reduced the deficit 12 minutes later.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eric Dier dived to clear Alex Wilkinson's cross but instead headed the ball into his own net.
