Wayne Rooney found the net for the 200th time in The Premier League. Only Alan Shearer has reached this number of goals. The legendary English forward has scored 260 Premier League goals and it will be very difficult for Wayne Rooney to reach him, but we must congratulate the ex-Man United player for this achievement.
The 31-year-old forward moved to Everton this summer, making his dreamed return to his favourite team. No matter he is not playing at the top of the Toffees’ attack he is the author of the two Everton’s goals in the league. Rooney’s career started at Everton – you probably remember his legendary goal against Arsenal, which was his first in the league. Since then, the forward can’t stop scoring goals. During his first spell at Everton Rooney bagged 15 goals. Then he was signed by Manchester United.
After moving to Manchester United, Wayne Rooney immediately became the fans’ favourite. He scored 183 goals in The Premier League for The Red Devils (253 in all competitions). Last season Rooney broke sir Bobby Charlton’s record for the most goals with the colours of Manchester United. On 21st January 2017, the 31-year-old forward scored his 250th goal for the club, equalizing against Stoke City from a free kick.
Moreover, Wayne Rooney is the England’s best goal-scorer ever. He has scored 53 goals in 119 appearances for The Three Lions. Rooney is also the most capped outfield player. The last time Wayne took part in a Three Lions’ game was in November 2016. However, the forward scored his 200th league goal in front of Gareth Southgate, who was attending the game between Manchester City and Everton.
To conclude with, The Citizens just started to create a lot of goal-scoring chances when Wayne Rooney received a pass from the young talent Calvert-Lewin in the box and sent the ball into the net. Then, the referee sent Kyle Walker off just before the half time, but the Pep Guardiola’s men managed to equalize the score in the second half.
