Was rooneys goal the best goal ever???

Was Wayne rooneys goal the best goal ???
rooneys goal won the Manchester derby for United with a amazing overhead kick, a goal which masked what was otherwise another sub-par performance from the Red Devils' top player. Wayne rooneys goal winner has been met with a frenzied wave of applause from fans, teammates, pundits, analysts and his manager. But have they gone too far in their adulation of Manchester United's prodigal son?
Yes, it was a sublimely struck goal. Yes, it was a very important goal. But 'goal of the century'? 'the best goal scored at Old Trafford'? Is Rooney's goal at risk of being over-hyped by overenthusiastic praise or does it deserve the bouquets? What do you think...??? Wayne rooneys goal said it was the best goal he’s scored and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson called it the greatest strike he’s seen in 25 years at Old Trafford.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart didn’t even move.

Wayne rooneys goal used a spectacular bicycle kick with his back to the goal for the 2-1 win over rival Man City.

The United and England striker leaped to meet a right-wing cross with an overhead strike that hammered into the top corner after 77 minutes.

“I saw it coming over and I thought why not? Nine times out of 10 they go into the stand,” Wayne rooneys goal told Sky Sports.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who sat out the game with an injury, posted his reaction on Twitter.

“Wow….what a goal by ROOOOOOONEY!!! What a way to win the derby!!” he tweeted, before adding: “That bicycle kick was one dirty strike…POW…what a strike what a goal what a netbuster!!”

Even golfers Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy, playing in the Dubai Desert Classic, commented. McIlroy simply tweeted; “BOOM!!!!!!!!”

Ferguson said the quality of the strike reminded him of United great Denis Law, who scored a good 171 goals in his stellar career at the club.

“It was stunning,” Ferguson said. “We’ve had some fantastic goals here but in terms of execution … you’ll never see that.”

Nani had given United a first-half lead with a neat control and finish, before City equalized with a deflected effort in the 64th.

“(Nani’s goal) was an unbelievable goal, but nobody in their right sense will even talk about it,” Ferguson said. “All the talk will be about that winning goal — unbelievable.”

The best goal was all the more surprising given Rooney’s indifferent season so far. Coming off a disappointing World Cup in June, he’d scored only four league goals until Saturday.

In October, the 25-year-old former Everton player threatened to leave Manchester United because he was not given the assurances he wanted about the club’s future.

Two days later, he changed his mind and signed a new five-year contract, with reports suggesting it could be worth up to $400,000 a week.

His form slowly picked up, and he has been overshadowed by Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov. He has a league-leading 19 goals this season, including a stunning overhead kick of his own in a hat trick against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

Ferguson took a risk by leaving Berbatov on the bench against City. He gave Rooney a lone
striker role and it paid off.

But the United manager still wants more offense.

“I hope that is Wayne back to his best,” he said. “I have to say, what I need to get out of Wayne and Berbatov are performances away from home that are as good as they are at home.”

Rooney has scored many other briliant goals such as the superb goal against newcastle, when he was arguing with the ref and when he turned around, he found the ball coming at hit from a defencive header, he had no second thoughts and vollied the ball into the top corner with such power that it was impossible for the newcalste goal keeper to deal with.
This was one of his greatest goals but i shall leave the readers to judge this one!
