WAYNE ROONEY BECAME just the second player in Premier League history to score 200 goals after he gave Everton the lead against Manchester City this evening, before Kyle Walker was sent off just minutes later for the hosts.
With 35 minutes on the clock at the Etihad, Rooney slotted the ball under Ederson to put Ronald Koeman’s side ahead.
Less than 10 minutes later, further misery was heaped on Pep Guardiola’s side, as defender Walker received a second yellow card and was given his marching orders on his home debut by referee Robert Madley.
Walker joined Man City from Tottenham for £50 million (€55m) in July and was booked for a late challenge on Leighton Baines three minutes before the interval.
Two minutes later, the 27-year-old was given a second yellow by referee Madley for raising and swinging his arm against Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin amid City protests.
Rooney, who scored on his second Everton debut against Stoke last weekend, is now 60 goals behind Alan Shearer in the all-time Premier League goalscoring charts.
