It was a shot that West Brom keeper Ben Foster was going to save.
The Mexican cut inside on his left foot and hit a fizzing left foot shot that the keeper anticipated and had covered. He was going to save it.
But somehow Rooney got to the ball before it reached the keeper and jabbed it in with his left foot. Wayne was onside but he got there.
That first goal was special because so few players would have scored it.
Just as I was thinking : This reminds me of Sixties Man United, with exciting crossfield balls to flying attackers.
Then Rooney scored a Denis Law goal.
There’s no higher praise from me. The King was my hero.
He was why I went to Manchester University. To see Denis Law play
Rooney scored from a Chicharito shot and that made it 1-0 in 35. His penalty found the bottom corner for 2-0 in 71.
And Swansea beat Man City 1-0.
Man United are one point above City with 10 games to play.
