England's Euro 2012 campaign appears to be going from strength to strength after Roy Hodgson's side beat co-hosts Ukraine 1-0 in Donetsk.

Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the match to put England at the top of their qualifying group and send them through to the last eight of the competition.

After the match, manager Roy Hodgson praised Rooney: "He's got character, hasn't he?

"Those who have followed England and Manchester United, even Everton, you know what Rooney is, what he can do and his qualities.

"He showed them in abundance tonight. He and (Danny) Welbeck worked extremely hard."

England now face a quarter-final match against Italy in Kiev on Sunday.
