4. Stunner in the Maracana (2013)Inside the iconic stadium, England were outclassed for large periods against Brazil, but it was Rooney who dragged his side to a draw in this glamour friendly.First, he laid the ball on for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to equalise, before a driving run and powerful curling shot found the top corner to give England a lead they would eventually surrender.3.
