Wayne Rooney recalls being ‘fuming’ before scoring stunning winner against Arsenal in 2002
Wayne Rooney was desperate to make history on the day he netted his famous strike against Arsenal in 2002 - but had been "fuming" about not making Everton's starting line-up for the game.
Having come off the bench, the Toffees forward became the Premier League's then youngest and first 16-year-old goalscorer by sending a superb late shot past David Seaman to seal a 2-1 home victory.
