Wayne Rooney celebrated signing his new contract with Manchester United by scoring a stunning goal in their 2-0 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The England striker, 28, penned a new five year deal at Old Trafford earlier this week and was in lively form at Selhurst Park as David Moyes' side overcame a stubborn Palace side.
And after Robin Van Persie's penalty broke the deadlock in the second half, Rooney added a sublime second by guiding a perfect shot into the roof of the net.
