Wayne Rooney Rolls Back The Years With Incredible Free-Kick For Derby County
Wayne Rooney has reminded us all just how good he is with a delightful free-kick for Derby County against Preston.
Derby still have a chance of making this season's play-offs and victory this evening would move them just one point behind Cardiff City in sixth.
When The Rams received a free-kick just outside the box, there was just one man up to the job.
Former Manchester United star Rooney stepped up with the pressure on and curled the ball into the top left corner, leaving Declan Rudd stranded.
