As Manchester United's clash with Liverpool approaches, the Vault recalls Wayne Rooney's match-winning heroics at Anfield in 2005.
There are few achievements that satisfy United fans more than getting one over fierce rivals Liverpool, and in the mid-2000s it was something Sir Alex Ferguson's men achieved regularly.

And it proved to be the perfect platform for a fresh-faced Rooney, returning to Merseyside for the first time following his his big-money move from Everton, to endear himself to the United faithful.
Diego Forlan and Ryan Giggs had punished high-profile Jerzy Dudek errors on United's previous two trips to Anfield, and the Reds stopper was left with egg on his face for a third time.
The Pole allowed Rooney's tame 25-yard effort to whistle under his body into the back of the net as Rooney sealed a third-consecutive victory at the home of United's biggest rivals.
