Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has had a rough go of it as of late, failing to score in his last 10 games.
The England striker reversed his fortunes Wednesday, finding the back of the net in the Champions League play-off match against Club Brugge.
Memphis Depay found Rooney after cutting in from the left wing and slipping in a smart through-pass. Rooney rushed towards the goalkeeper and finished the chance with a cheeky finesse shot, giving him his first goal of the season.
