It’s been a disappointing season all-around for Wayne Rooney, but since the new year, it seems like he is the man who bails Manchester United out of tough situations more than anyone else. Today’s 2-0 deficit against West Ham United probably qualifies as a tough situation, and he’s done brilliantly to dig his team out of that hole with two brilliant goals. The score is now level at 2-2, and Rooney’s most recent goal, which came from open play, was possibly even more brilliant than his fantastic free kick.
West Ham United Vs. Manchester United: Wayne Rooney Scores Again, Red Devils Level
It was just one of those situations where, when the ball came to Rooney’s feet, it was obvious that he was about to score. He did well to create space for himself and get himself a clean look from 15 yards out, and when he had that, the finish seems inevitable. He slotted the ball firmly, but calmly past Robert Green at the far post, and United are level.
