It was quite possibly the goal that won Manchester United the Premier League title that season. After Nani’s goal in the first half, David Silva gave City supporters hope of a point after he equalised. It was a tight game that showed no signs of opening up.
It was Wayne Rooney who rose to the occasion and not only made a memorable Manchester derby moment but scored one of the best goals of the Premier League.
After failed attempts to pierce through the City midfield, Nani sent a searching cross to Wayne Rooney who was hovering near the penalty spot. What followed will always be remembered as a defining moment in Rooney’s career.
He swung his body around to receive the cross and converted it into a daring overhead kick that flew into the goal. The unbelievable goal sealed the deal for the Red Devils that night and helped them on their way to the League title.
