2017/18 Wayne Rooney

I personally think the game today changed when Koeman pushed DCL upfront.

By pushing DCL upfront, it made Stoke panic, and they stuck an extra man on him. Rooney, as a result, was able to push a little deeper, and control the game. I was skeptical about the Rooney return, and he didn't impress me much in pre-season, nor in either of the Europa League games, but today he was phenomenal in the second half.

As for the goal, well take absolutely no credit away from him. What a brilliant finish. That much power, and to get it away from the keeper, you can't teach that, it's just sheer.

Welcome back Wayne.
 
Wayne, sliding on his knees, not in celebration but in absolution upon the Goodison Park Altar.

Only shame is he scored in front of the Park End.
