And just like that, Wayne Rooney was able to sleep a little easier at night. Following a goal drought that stretched back some 4,004,001 minutes, Wayne Rooney finally got the monkey off his back last night, scoring the winning goal during Man United’s 1-0 victory over CSKA.
The goal drew Rooney level on 237 goals with Denis Law in the all-time leading United goal scoring charts. Rooney remains a dozen behind leading scorer Bobby Charlton. A target which seems achievable at Rooney’s current goal scoring rate, only if he plays on until his forties.
