Another super Rooney strike sinks Leeds

Leeds 0 Everton 1

If there had been any doubt as to whether Wayne Rooney was all hype following his remarkable goal-of-the-season contender to finally end Arsenal’s long unbeaten record a fortnight ago, then the Croxteth-born youngster blew them away.

Just five minutes after his second-half introduction for Tomasz Radzinski, Rooney underlined just what an outstanding talent he is, as well as being a breath of fresh air for English football as a whole. There appeared to be little danger for Leeds when Rooney picked up an 80th-minute through ball from Li Tie around 35 yards from goal.
