Rooney Marks Everton Return With A Winning Goal

Wayne Rooney marked his return to Everton with a goal, striking in first-half stoppage time to give his side a 1-0 advantage over Stoke. 

With time nearly up in the first half, the former Manchester United man made a well-timed run into the box and sent a looping header into the net.

It was the 300th Premier League goal the 31-year-old has been involved in throughout his career and marked a perfect start to his return to Goodison Park.

Indeed, when he was named in Ronald Koeman’s starting XI, the attacker made history as he set a record for length of time between two Premier League appearances for a single club .

By netting, he also set a new mark for days between goals for one particular team - (4,869).
