Scotland 1-3 England: What the newspapers said
England captain Wayne Rooney dominated the column inches after his two goals helped the Three Lions clinch a convincing win in Glasgow.
Despite a perfect start to Euro 2016 qualifying, Tuesday's visit to Scotland was supposed to be England's fiercest test since failing to impress at the World Cup.
Rooney is now just two goals shy of becoming England's all-time leading goalscorer after tucking away his 45th and 46th international goals.
The Telegraph's Henry Winter singled England's skipper out for praise, describing the striker as "the team’s leader, the brains, the heartbeat and cutting edge."
For the Independent, Sam Wallace suggested we may be witnessing something of a Wayne Rooney renaissance following his enthusiastic celebration for England's third goal.
"We saw a glimpse of the old Rooney," he wrote. "With that tumbling, cartwheel celebration that was emblematic of his youthful promise at Euro 2004."
Oliver Kay, at the Times, described Rooney's exuberant cartwheel as "a spontaneous expression of joy that illustrated how a feel-good factor has returned to his and England’s game."
The Mirror's Oliver Holt chose to focus on the positives for England as a team, suggesting last night's victory will help to put some of those painful memories from Brazil to bed.
"When the victory was complete," he said. "Hodgson knew that he and his team could finally begin to put what happened in Brazil in the summer behind them."
For the Guardian, Barney Ronay hailed Roy Hodgson's tactics, while also glancing back at the past for similarities to the team which disappointed at the World Cup.
Ronay believes Hodgson "should be applauded for retaining that greenhorn diamond midfield on an occasion that presented, in its early intensity, a genuine straining at the stitches of the post-World Cup recovery programme."
