Because Rooney can’t get enough of playing Arsenal...
Trending
Wayne Rooney had special memories of playing against Arsenal. But as much as he is a giver in real, he hadn’t shared his true nature with the Gunners until the start of 2011-12 season. At the dawn of new season, Arsenal travelled to Old Trafford full of enthusiasm and while they hoped to make a title statement, little did they know that Rooney had other plans.
Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick and set up a couple of goals as Manchester United thrashed Arsenal 8-2 in a humiliation that still haunts the Gunners. He scored a free-kick which appeared to have been picked out from the manual, and then put another dead ball at the back of the net, by manipulating Wojciech Szczesny with a master deception.
Eventually, he completed his hat-trick by drilling a penalty with aplomb. Early on, Robin van Persie’s lukewarm penalty was saved by David de Gea, which he rues till this day.
