Top5 - Number 4: vs Arsenal

Five days before Wayne Rooney's 17th birthday, he did this. Now, when I was 17 I would have been over the moon to score something like this on FIFA, never mind in person live in front of tens of thousands watching. He surpassed Michael Owen as the Premier League's youngest ever scorer, and also destroyed Arsenal's 30-match unbeaten run.

The commentator screams 'remember the name Wayne Rooney', which is rather apt considering he has gone on to make over 300 Premier League appearances for his clubs, scoring 156 goals.

Rooney plucks he ball from high in the sky and instantly takes control. He takes a step inside, pushing the ball into a striking position, before opening up his body and letting loose. David Seaman in the Arsenal goal is unable to stop the ball crashing against the underside of the crossbar and into the net in the 89th minute. Spark mental celebrations from the Evertonians.
