9 unbelievable Wayne Rooney career moments

#5 A lightning counter, a lob, and a comeback

Rooney floats one over David James

First is a delicious lob over David James in an FA Cup tie at Old Trafford. For those in India who suffered through James’ punditry during the recent World Cup, this is solace.

Second is the devastating goal on a counter attack against Bolton Wanderers. From one end of the field to another, the goal saw rapid Ronaldo and roaring Rooney produce a moment of sheer footballing genius.

The third part contains a tremendous game-changing second half hat-trick against West Ham. Trailing 2-0 to The Hammers, Rooney inspired an unforgettable comeback victory which got the ball rolling on United’s return to Premier League glory post-Ronaldo.
