Wayne Rooney is one of the greatest goalscorers in Premier League history; he is one of only two players to score over 200 goals in the competition. The 36-year-old opened his account in the English top flight with a wonder strike from distance against Arsenal.

In a Premier League game in 2002, the then 16-year-old unleashed a venomous strike from distance to breach the Arsenal rearguard. Everton eventually won the game 2-1 to snap the Gunners' 30-game unbeaten streak.
