Only on H&V could a player score a goal that will rarely be seen executed in that manner, and be shot at. Seriously, given the tense vibe of the game, the fact United were a little on the back foot following City getting the equalizer a few minutes previously, and the fact is was a dog of a cross, all make the strike even better. I said when he scored it that it was one of the most incredible goals I had ever seen. Given all the pressure on him, and the game, it elevates in above most I have ever seen. There will always be one better, but christ on a bike, enjoy the skill. Don't care as long as it is not scored for Blues!!
I also thought the celebration was telling of how good a goal it was, and of what a relief it was to Rooney. He just stood, arms out, eyes closed, head back taking in the adulation of 70,000 people. I would imagine that life rarely gets better than that moment.
Having said all that Stan's goal against Madrid is my favourite of all time. Never had a game like that since for atmosphere, with that goal at the crescendo.
