Wayne Rooney scores incredible goal from his own half for DC United in Major League Soccer
- The 33-year-old soccer legend curls the ball home from 70 yards over the despairing dive of the Orlando City goalkeeper
- Goal reminiscent of Rooney’s long-range strikes against West Ham for Manchester United and Everton
Wayne Rooney has a penchant for scoring big goals in big games. He’s also known for his long range strikes and during DC United’s match against Orlando City on Wednesday night he gave fans another one for his highlight reel.
Rooney, who now has eight goals (four of them game winners) in 16 matches this season in Major League Soccer, helped his team remain third in the Eastern Conference standings with his amazing goal.
DC United have 30 points, behind the Montreal Impact and the Philadelphia Union, and look to book a play-off spot for the second year in a row.
Rooney, a former Manchester United star who also notched 120 caps and 53 goals for England, was originally signed as a designated player back in June of 2018. In two seasons with the club he has played in 36 games and scored 33 goals.
Fans reacted accordingly to his latest effort on social media, with one noting it looked like he scored all the way “from the parking lot”.
