Wayne Rooney tops goal poll
WAYNE ROONEY’S spectacular overhead kick in the Manchester derby in February last year has been voted as the greatest goal in the 20 seasons of the Premier League.
Hundreds of thousands of supporters voted in the poll, with Rooney’s strike gaining 26 per cent of the votes. Dennis Bergkamp’s turn and finish against Newcastle for Arsenal in March 2002 was second and Thierry Henry's volley for Arsenal against Manchester United in 2000 was third.
Rooney said: “To be voted the best goal in the history of the Premier League is a great feeling.”
