England star Wayne Rooney does not save superlatives to the captain of the "three lions" Steven Gerrard after winning with 1:0 over Ukraine last night. England won with 1:0 and the only goal was made exactly after Rooney's pass to Gerrard, who was subsequently elected as player of the match.
"The passes of Gerrard in this tournament are amazing. Steven is a world class player and tonight was really brilliant, "said after the match Rooney, who scored the first minutes of Euro 2012 after serving a penalty of two meetings.
"We are delighted that we have a player like him in our team," said the Manchester United striker.
Rooney scored the only goal of the match in the 48th minute after a brilliant centering of Gerrard on the right. With the victory, England finished first in Group D in the quarterfinals and will face the team of Italy. The match is on Sunday.
