Wayne Rooney pretends to be knocked out after scoring Manchester United's third goal against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
(CNN)Manchester
United and skipper Wayne Rooney significantly boosted its own chances
and delivered a probable knockout blow to Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of
Champions League qualification with 3-0 home win Sunday.
First
half goals from Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Rooney
effectively ended the EPL match as a contest, with the win leaving
United in fourth spot, but only two points adrift of second-placed
Manchester City. Tottenham is seventh, six points adrift of the top
four.
Rooney's third after another
piece of disastrous defending from the visitors led to an impromptu and
topical goal celebration, which was certainly the main talking point.
A
national newspaper had posted a video on on social media Sunday which
appeared to show Rooney being felled by fellow EPL footballer and former
United teammate Phil Bardsley as both donned boxing gloves for a
"friendly" fight in his kitchen.
After
he had converted following a mistake by Nabil Bentaleb, Rooney threw a
few mock punches then keeled over backwards on to the Old Trafford turf.
