In the first 10 minutes, Everton turned out to be the dominant opponent. They were firmly in control of the midfield. Manchester United veterans Schneiderlin and Wayne Rooney, a cannonball-loader, a small steel cannon. The two made several delicate combinations. Wayne Rooney finished with two shots that hit the woodwork.

The big-mouthed Dunphy explained: "Schneiderlin and Rooney have no mercy against their old club!" ”

Fat Bob agreed: "They're all players with a strong work ethic. Schneiderlin, in particular, was not favoured by Jose Mourinho at Manchester United and looked eager to prove himself against his former club with a good performance. ”

After withstanding Everton's opening 10-minute three-plater, United launched a counter-attack.

In the 11th minute, Liu Yun organized an attack in the midfield, and after passing the "overnight meal" Gueye, Liu Yun distributed the ball to Rashford on the side.

'97 teenager Fort started to accelerate, got past Baines' defense on the wing, and then he cut inside at 45 degrees.

However, on the edge of the box, Rashford's breakthrough was sniped by 35-year-old veteran Jagielka. Jagielka, the former Everton captain, is a regular and formidable defender for the England national team. He was experienced, tough in interception, accurate in defensive anticipation, and a textbook sliding tackle to cut the ball off.

Liu Yun suddenly remembered a joke from Chinese fans back then: "Jagielka is an existence that teaches Ferdinand to be a man." ”

Immediately after Jagielka won the ball, he made a long pass to Schneiderlin in the middle to launch a counterattack.

Schneiderlin wins the ball and goes straight to Seruni.

Wayne Rooney got the ball! Bailly grabbed up, and Rooney changed direction with a smash to pass the slightly immature little brother Bailly. He broke through to the edge of the box.

At the front of the penalty area, Rooney faced the double bag of Valencia and Phil Jones, and unexpectedly shook out of the gap to kick!

It was a very precise long-range shot that flew straight to the right side of the goal.

De Gea's position was too far to the left, and his flank was half a beat slower.

“duang!”

At the critical moment, Manchester United's third goalkeeper - the goalpost has made a meritorious service! The ball hits the post and bounces off the box. Valencia wins the ball and clears it into the middle of the field with a big foot.

Wayne Rooney's goal sent the Red Devils fans into a cold sweat.

Despite Rooney's rivalry now, the Reds' 70,000 fans responded with applause for Rooney's brilliant performance as the former Manchester United goalscorer.

"Aha, Rooney doesn't give his old club any affection! If it weren't for the goalpost just now, I believe Rooney would have broken through the city of his old club! Fat Bob explained.

The big-mouthed Dunphy began to speak freely again: "That's right, Rooney is already in the late stages of Manchester United." Now back to Toffee, Rooney seems to have a second spring! You know, he scored five goals at Manchester United last season. But now, after just 4 rounds of league matches, he has already scored 5 goals! The Rooney who scared the odds of his opponent is back! ”

After Wayne Rooney's shot hit the post, the United players seemed to be holding their breath to return the favor.

In the 15th minute, Fellaini broke the ball at the back and crossed the ball to Matic White. Nemanja Matic went straight to Mkhitaryan, who handed the ball to the old lieutenant Liu Yun in the middle.

Liu Yun picked up the pass with a precise kick and went directly to Lukaku in front.

It was a high-quality cross that Lukaku started and got on the ball just in time. Everton centre-back Williams rushed up from the flank to defend Romelu Lukaku.

Romelu Lukaku was on the edge of the box and he struck hard before Williams could kick in.

Unfortunately, Lukaku's shot didn't seem to be on target. The ball hit the directly.

Lukaku hugged his black head in frustration.

The score of 0:0 remained unchanged for 30 minutes.

In the 31st minute of the game, Schneiderlin, Lewin, and Rooney played a delicate combination in the frontcourt.

Schneiderlin straight Selevin. After Dominic Lewin burst into the box, he was unafraid of the close defence of Red Devils captain Valencia and smashed the ball across to Rooney.

Wayne Rooney shoots from close range in the box!

With such a position and such an angle, how could a striker of Rooney's level not seize the opportunity?!

The ball hung into the top right corner of the net and De Gea could only look at the ball and sigh.

The ball flew into the net, the ball went in, 1:0! Former Manchester United goalscorer Wayne Rooney scored for Everton at the Theatre of Dreams to break through his old club's goal!

After Rooney's goal, there was silence in the Theatre of Dreams.

Just a few months ago, Wayne Rooney's goal at the Theatre of Dreams was able to ignite the passion of countless Red Devils diehards. Today, however, Wayne Rooney has donned the blue shirt and has become Manchester United's enemy.

For more than a decade, Manchester United fans have been accustomed to celebrating Wayne Rooney's goal at the Theatre of Dreams. But today, habits are no longer natural...

Schneiderlin and Calvert-Lewin rushed to Rooney to celebrate the goal.

Rooney waved at Schneiderlin and Calvert-Lewin, signaling not to celebrate. In front of his old club Manchester United, in front of the 70,000 fans of the Theater of Dreams, who had cheered him for more than a decade, he did not celebrate his goal. Silently picked up the ball from the net and ran to the midfield. His back was already a little old.

The big-mouthed Dunphy couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, no matter where Rooney goes, even if he is wearing a blue robe, there is still a red heart beating in his chest." ”

Fat Bob also sighed: "Yes, Rooney has been loyal to Manchester United for 13 years at the Theatre of Dreams. Here he spent his youth. From a boy to a man. Things are not people, and the former king of the Dream Theater has become an enemy. But he still has respect for the Red Devils. ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy said again: "Rooney is in a brave state now!" The former England national team captain is back! He has scored 6 goals in 5 rounds, and is closely following the 7 goals of the old lieutenant Liu in the scorer list. ”

Wayne Rooney shone at the Theatre of Dreams, while Liu Yun was heavily guarded by Everton up front.

Without the ball, Keane followed Liu Yun like a dog skin plaster. As soon as Liu Yun got the ball, more than two Everton players immediately rushed towards him.

The old lieutenant, who has always been a steady attacking engine in the eyes of Manchester United fans, made two undeserved passing errors under huge defensive pressure.

In the 40th minute, Liu Yun won the ball in the midfield. Everton's 98-year-old teenager Davies and veteran Jagielka gave Liu Yun a sandwich one after the other.

Liu Yun played a long ball under high-intensity interference, but the ball went directly to the feet of Everton centre-back Williams.

Davis, the expression maniac, immediately made a look of disdain. Sky TV actually gave this expression a close-up.

The big-mouthed Dunphy said, "Ha, the junior general of '98, Davis, seems to be laughing at the forty-six-year-old old lieutenant. It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. ”

The first half gradually came to an end.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half as Lukaku's long-range shot slid out of the net.

1:0, Toffee Everton led the Red Devils Manchester United by 1 goal at the Theatre of Dreams with Rooney's goal!
