England captain Wayne Rooney says it was a “special moment” to score the winning goal on his top-flight return to Everton after 13 years.
The 31-year-old, who left the club for Manchester United in 2004, headed in his 199th Premier League goal as the Toffees beat Stoke 1-0 at Goodison Park.Rooney said “on a personal note, I’m absolutely delighted to score the winning goal at Goodison Park. It was a special moment for me. There was a lot of relief and a lot of emotion. It was an important goal just before half-time. I’ve felt at home since I first stepped in the training ground. I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a long time.” Rooney found space in the area to head a Dominic Calvert-Lewin cross past Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland for an Everton win.
