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.
Watch Rooney’s winning header below.

The scale of the task at hand for new Villa boss Remi Garde was summed up during their 3-1 loss away to Spurs on Monday night.
During half time, Gary Neville revealed the worrying stat for Garde, that Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor had managed just 8 touches in the opening 45 minutes, the lowest for any player so far this season.
Two of those touches had been from the kick off, a point which had Neville’s studio colleagues Frank Lampard and Jamie Carragher giggling like school boys. -

Dries Mertens produces tidy finish and he couldn’t be angrier
Apparently, nothing gets Dries Mertens’ back up more than his picking a spot and tucking away a decent finish.
Mertens appeared to throw a hissy-fit when congratulated by team mates after scoring Napoli’s 2nd goal against Palermo.
Presuambly, had Mertens scored a brace, one of his team mates would have been sent tumbling to the canvas via a right hook. Don’t ask what he does if he scores a hat-trick. -
“Hey Jozy, f*ck you!!” Toronto FC’s striker gets an ear full
Former Sunderland flop Jozy Altidore was given some words of encouragement during his sides playoff defeat to Montreal in the game coined the ‘Canadian derby’. The words came from a Montreal heckler in the stadium which can clearly be heard on TV, telling Altidore that he “sucked in England” before climaxing with a tried and tested “F*ck you Jozy”.
The words did little to inspire much of a reaction from the Altidore, as Toronto were comfortably knocked out of their first ever MLS play off 3-0.
For Montreal and their potty mouthed heckler, they go on to face New York Red Bulls in the conference semi-finals. -
Normal One on Special One: If you’re not a journalist or referee he’s a nice guy

Relegation battlers Chelsea welcome mid-table floaters Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Saturday in what is sure to be a right good old scrap. Over the next 48 hours or so expect to have the monikers Normal One and Special One rammed into your ears until you obediently adopt them and never mention their actual names ever again. Or, at least until another manager washes up on these shores and proclaims another ‘One’ title.
Speaking before the clash, Liverpool manager the Normal One was his usual mischievous self, cheekily claiming that his opposite number, the Special One was a nice guy providing your’re not a referee or journalist or a medical professional for that matter. (We might have added that last one on there).
The battle of the monikers kick’s off at 12.45pm on Saturday.
