Wayne Rooney Goal VS Manchester City

0 comments
Wayne Rooney Goal VS Manchester City, The Manchester United star said of his epic kick, “Nine time out of 10 they go over the crossbar. Today it ended up in the top corner. It is instinct. You don’t have time to think about it.” His stunning overhead kick  sealed the 2-1 win over Manchester City.

But was this the best goal of his life? Rooney said himself, “I think so.” And many would agree. It was epic indeed. And not just that, some are saying his goal may be the best of the entire season for any football team.

The play started with Rooney somewhat flubbing a ball played back to Paul Scholes at the edge of the attacking third. The midfielder quickly played a ball wide to Nani, who put a cross in toward the far post, where both Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs were.

The ball swung slightly, away from the edge of the six, allowing Rooney to create some space between himself and Micah Richards. The United forward jumped with his ball to goal, leaned back to bring his right leg up, and met the ball at the peak of his jump. A wonderful goal, brilliantly timed, put United ahead.

This bicycle kick from Wayne Rooney, was pure skill, absolutely brilliant. He is an elite player. Practically and emotionally, this was a huge 2-1 win for Man United.
