The Manchester derby is one of the most historic fixtures in football. And in 2011 the fixture was matched by an artistic goal from Wayne Rooney against neighbors Manchester City.
Rooney closely timed a cross from Luis Nani and hit a sumptuous overhead kick which left Joe Hart rooted to his post as the ball flew in.
It eventually turned out to be the match winner and laid the foundation for the gap in the points table that delivered the Premier League title to Manchester United.
Till date, Rooney’s goal is regarded as one of the greatest ever goals to have been scored in the Premier League.
