Everton's Wayne Rooney Haunts Arsenal Again With Sensational Goal

Almost 15 years ago since scoring the goal which put Wayne Rooney on the footballing map, he's continued to haunt Arsenal by bagging a sensational strike this afternoon.

Rooney became a teenage sensation following his 90th minute winner against Arsenal in 2002. 15 years later, he's once again tormenting Arsene Wenger's side with Everton after giving them the lead in stunning fashion.

Despite Arsenal starting the better of the two, the hosts opened proceedings at Goodison Park.

Idrissa Gueye brilliantly closed down Granit Xhaka with Rooney picking up the loose pieces. He took a few touches to set himself, before unleashing a curling effort pass the hapless Petr Cech netting his 12th Premier League goal against Arsenal in the process.

Rooney's heroics sent social media into overdrive.

He's still got it.
