Ronaldo & Rooney: how do they compare?
Tyler's Starting Stat - A record for Rooney
I was at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday where Wayne Rooney scored his landmark 100th Premier League goal. But the strike was also notable because it took him past Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United's all-time goalscoring charts. Rooney now has 119 United goals in all competitions, compared to Ronaldo's 118. What's more, Rooney did it in 24 fewer games (he has played 268 compared to Ronaldo's 292). Rooney has also overtaken Ronaldo's Premier League record for the club. He now has 85 goals in 180 league games for United, overtaking the 84 scored by Ronaldo in his 196 appearances.
Looking at Rooney's Premier League century (including his 15 for Everton), I can tell you only four of Rooney's 100 goals came from penalties with a further 87 coming from inside the area and nine coming from outside. Out of interest, 80 were scored with his right foot, 15 with his left and five were headers - although as he has scored with his head in his last two games at old Trafford that is clearly an area of his game which is getting better!
