England Goals - Rooney 35'(pen),70' Welbeck 37',72' Oxlade-Chamberlain 77'

ENGLAND cruised to victory to move top of World Cup qualifying Group H as San Marino were put to the sword at Wembley.

Captain Wayne Rooney scored his 30th and 31st international goals to move fifth in his country's all-time scoring charts.

His Manchester United team-mate Danny Welbeck bagged a brace of his own and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also scored to finish the rout.

Rooney opened the scoring on 34 minutes from the spot after Welbeck had been brought down in the box by visiting goalkeeper Aldo Junior Simoncini.

Welbeck then doubled their lead three minutes later with an audacious finish as England completed dominated proceedings going into the break.

The second half saw the hosts remain in total control but it took them until the 70th minute to put a gloss on the victory.

And it was Rooney again who got the fans cheering as he bent a low shot into the far corner of the net beyond Simoncini.

Two minutes later, Welbeck netted his second of the match and England's fourth when he turned Cleverley's cross in at the near post.

Arsenal starlet Oxlade-Chamberlain got on the scoresheet himself with a fine clipped effort that went sailing into the net after a neat lay-off from Cleverley.

Substitute Jonjo Shelvey -- on for Michael Carrick -- almost had a debut goal for himself late on but his effort was parried by Simoncini.
