12 February 2011 20:42
Wayne Rooney hit a fantastic winning goal in the game against Manchester City today and then admitted it was the best goal he had ever scored. After City had fluked a goal that got them back into the Manchester derby, it looked as though both teams were heading for a point each before Rooney’s wonder strike 12 minutes from time that sorted out the men from the boys. And the strike will come as a major boost for the United striker who struggled to get back on top form earlier in the season When asked in an interview by Sky Sports after the game if that was his best goal, he said:"I think so. "I saw it come into the box and thought 'why not?' Thankfully it finished up in the top corner. "I was trying to get in a good position for when Nani crossed it. Nine time out of 10 they go over the crossbar. Today it ended up in the top corner. "It is instinct. You don't have time to think about it." Asked when he had last scored with an overhead kick, Rooney replied: "In school I think. It's the first one since I started playing professionally."
