#9 Bolton Wanderers: The ballet with Rooney
This classic counterattacking goal against Bolton Wanderers was rated amongst the goals of the season. It remains vivid in the memory. Ronaldo controlled the ball with his chest at the edge of United’s box. He then fired a low pass into Rooney's feet who flicked it back to United's number 7. Ronaldo then put on the after-burners, thereby leaving the Bolton defenders for dead.
In the meantime, Rooney had made a barnstorming run alongside Ronaldo, which enabled him to slide a cute pass to Rooney at the edge of Bolton's penalty area. The coup de grâce was a sumptuous chip past the Bolton Keeper. Oh, and by the way, it took only twelve seconds.
