Rooney heads in for United’s win against CSKA
Manchester: Manchester United’s long wait for a goal finally ended as Wayne Rooney’s header secured a 1-0 victory against CSKA Moskva in the Champions League football tournament.
Louis van Gaal’s side were 11 minutes away from recording a fourth straight blank in front of goal when Rooney met Jesse Lingard’s volleyed cross with a flying header to secure United a victory which lifts them to the top of Group B on Tuesday.
In the process Rooney joined Denis Law on 237 goals in United colours, meaning only the legendary Bobby Charlton has scored more goals for the club.
United had not found the net for 325 minutes prior to kick-off but they made a positive start.
They had Rooney operating in a playmaker role with Anthony Martial leading the line and with Lingard and Juan Mata providing support on the flanks, United were bright and full of purpose in the early stages.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
