Bournemouth striker Wilson's first international goal rounded off a comprehensive England performance after first-half goals from Jesse Lingard and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Rooney, England's all-time leading goalscorer, had the captain's armband as he played the last 32 minutes, but a fairy-tale 54th goal for his country eluded him.

England started with the same intensity and vigour which saw them stun Spain in Seville last month, and the USA could not cope with it.

Dele Alli saw a powerful header tipped onto the crossbar by Brad Guzan inside four minutes before Wilson missed a glorious chance to open his international goal account, swiping at thin air at a cross from the right.

The Bournemouth striker then felt he should have won a penalty when he went to ground under a challenge from Guzan in the area, but the referee waved away England's appeals.

After Lingard's near-post drive drew a fine save from Guzan, the United States registered their first shot on target as Christian Pulisic was allowed to gather his own through pass by the static England defence who were bailed out brilliantly by a stunning one-on-one save by Jordan Pickford.

The miss proved costly as Lingard curled a beauty into the top corner from 18 yards and Alexander-Arnold added a quick-fire second with his first international goal two minutes later.

Rooney was introduced on 58 minutes to a standing ovation and he threatened to get the goal the baying crowd wanted with a 20-yard shot, but Guzan saved.

Two minutes after missing another chance to score his first England goal, Wilson deservedly got off the mark for his country with a clever near-post finish from Fabian Delph's cross from the left.

Rooney so nearly had the final word with two shots on goal in stoppage-time but it was not to be as his England career drew to a close.
