Wayne Rooney is in the news again for his sensational strike from inside his own half for the second time in his career. He’s done it for Manchester United, he’s done it for Everton, and now, he’s done it for D.C. United.

Just 10 minutes into the game and Wayne from around 70 meters into the Orlando City’s net. Wayne Rooney who is 33-YO after his match-winning goal said:
“He was probably a bit further out than usual because they were in possession of the ball, and it was through them losing it that it fell straight into my path. I knew immediately I was going to shoot it and, thankfully, I got it right.”
Twitter has some amazing praise after the amazing efforts from Rooney.
