EVEN THE WORST season can have a silver lining as Wayne Rooney reminded Manchester United fans with this quite remarkable goal against West Ham.
Spotting Adrian a couple of yards off his line, Rooney rifled the ball over the goalkeeper’s head from a couple of a yards inside the opposition half.
Superb technique and one for the Goal of the Season shortlist, surely.
It has already been compared to David Beckham’s famous goal against Wimbledon so it’s just as well that this fella was there to see it for himself:
Im a west ham fan…that goal was incredible. Fair play! Wish our players could do that!!
Great technique, great vision, great goal.
It’s no xavi Alonso
Ha
For 300,000 a week he would want to be doing it every week and more
Rooooooooo Beauty!!!!
I suppose ya gotta cling on to something dude :)
Pity he can’t do it against a quality team.
R u still talkin? Hop off Kermit & stop “spawning” your stupid comments
He couldn’t do it last week against Liverpool.will he be able to do it against Bayern?not a hope
Whatever Kermit, I’ve “rebbit” all before.
Admit he can’t preform against big teams
Overhead bicycle kick against Man City. Now shut up and stop embarrassing yourself.
Sure united supporters don’t class city as a quality side
Admit your a “Muppet” jaysus im on fire!!!! B-)
When you have to tell yourself you’re on fire you’re not.you could tell yourself your beautiful but you’d still be ugly like.why couldn’t he do it against Liverpool or Olympiakos. he’s over weight and he’s over rated he’s Wayne Rooney
Your right knob head sure Liverpool have now won the league. Their presenting the trophy at Anfield on Tuesday. Ye’re world beaters. Post the pictures of your team lifting it then you can be so smug.
Off his shin
That’s no way to talk about your mother
That’s more like the Utd of old
Ha ha rvp not gettin in in way … Xabi scored from he’s Own half – with he’s weaker foot at Luton . And with his good foot,against Newcastle …..
YNWA
It’s been an amazing day of football,that goal just topped it all off,amazing goal.
Beckhams was better
Man I’m a Liverpool fan and even I find you’re ridicule of United ridiculous
Where’s goal from the halfway line? I see a goal scored a good 15 ft inside the half.
Well then your not a Liverpool fan
Always one go***** amognst the flock
For once i agree with you John :)
Keeper looked like a man stumbling home after a few jars. Great technique by Rooney although it was a possible foul on the defender to create the chance
If that was a foul then football is a no contact sport, there’s traffic cones out there you’d have a harder time pushing over
Didn’t know TG4 are showing the game.
What a ridiculous comment
I prefer Beckham’s…ball was dead on the ground and didn’t bounce before it hit the net…and just in his own half…
Beckhams was class but this was struck on the volley. Much harder to accurately place.
I think the wind didnt help the keeper. But Rooney deserves the credit for spotting the chance
Not as good as Suarez’s goal against Norwich earlier in the season at Carrow Road. Keeper’s dopiness made it look better than it was.
Great to see Wayne get his 12th & 13th league goals this season, it’s all about the crest for Rooney
Jeez that commentator is pure west kerry
I’d say he can’t wait to get home and tell Fiona…
300k a week gets you that………… and seventh place in the league whoop whoop
Meh
Cracking goal even if it wasn’t from the half way line.
What is the bet that even though many others have done this before (Suarez, Alonso twice, Stankovic twice , Rivaldo etc ) that Sky will only remember Beckham’s and Rooney’s.
Still ain’t worth 300k a week though.
British broadcaster in British favouritism shocker.
Ya replies already of beckhams – sky mustn’t have xabi one or suarez 2/3 halfway crackers
Rooneys wasn’t halfway line… Still a great goal.
Where’s Jaymie? He d love this
Keeper was shocking
Not sure you can call it a lob as it bounced before crossing the line which just makes u question the keeper. I think both beckhams and alonsos were better as they had to actually beat the keeper, here the keeper bet himself
I was going to comme
A superb, inconsequential goal. YNWA.
David Beckhams goal was from the actual half way line not passed it & Rodney’s goal won’t top David’s one
rooney goal is always spectacular no matter from where he scores the goals and he will be the legend oe manchester united soon !
