Wayne Rooney reminds the world of goal-scoring skills with DC United double

Wayne Rooney reminded the world of his goal-scoring ability with a beautiful DC United brace in a 4-1 win.

The 32-year-old Manchester United legend inspired his side to another MLS win with goals either side of the break against Portland Timbers.

In front of 18,000 home fans the ex-England ace went behind but he levelled for them on 43 minutes with a darting run and ruthless left-foot finish.

Rooney’s side went ahead just four minutes later through Oneil David but the goal of the game was still to come.

DC won a foul on 68 minutes around 25-yards from goal but it looked best suited to a left-footed taker.

But the ex-Everton ace swung the ball over and around the wall with his right-peg and hapless goalkeeper Jeff Attinella could only get a limp wrist to it.

At the end of July he scored his first goal for the club but was left with a nasty gash on his nose and a black bandage around his head.

And on August 13 we got a glimpse of the striker at his all-action best when he dived into a brilliant tackle, to prevent a certain goal for Orlando City and sparked a counter attack that ended in a 96th-minute winner.
