Top5 - Number 2: vs Manchester City

When this rippled the back of the net you could hear applause from around the entire country. Whether you love the Manchester United striker or you loathe him, the audacity to even attempt this strike deserves merit, and the way he pulls it off deserves a standing ovation.

What makes it even sweeter for Rooney, and you Red Devils fans, is that it came against the club's bitter rivals Manchester City. As the ball floats into Rooney's presence, the England forward acrobatically over-head kicks the ball over Joe Hart and into the corner of the goal.

Take a bow, Mr Rooney.
