Wayne Rooney reprised one of his most well-known party tricks on Wednesday evening as he helped DC United beat Orlando City with an outrageous long-range effort.
The former England captain picked up the ball well inside the United half and took a quick glance up as he thought about mounting a counter-attack in just the 10th minute of the game.
However, seeing City's keeper Brian Rowe well off of his line, Rooney decided to try his luck from distance, unleashing a shot from 60 yards out.
The effort caught Rowe by surprise, with the 30-year-old back-pedalling furiously in an attempt to intercept the strike.
It was too late though, the ball sailing over his head and nestling in the back of the net.
The strike was the queue for wild celebrations on the pitch and pandemonium in the stands, with the former Manchester United striker mobbed by his team-mates.
