Rooney breaks United scoring record in draw at Stoke

London, January 21 

Wayne Rooney curled home a superb free kick deep into the injury time to become Manchester United’s all time leading goalscorer and give his side a 1-1 draw against Stoke City in their Premier League clash.

Stoke went ahead in the 19th minute following a quick counter-attack when Manchester United’s Juan Mata steered Erik Pieters’ cross-shot from a tight angle into his own goal.

Jose Mourinho’s side squandered plenty of chances to equalise, with Mata spurning a superb chance to redeem himself by sending Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s pass over with the goal at his mercy.

United won a free kick deep into the stoppage time and Rooney curled it spectacularly into the top corner to notch his 250th goal for the Red Devils, breaking Bobby Charlton’s previous record.
