Wayne Rooney scored stunning free-kick for DC United in the Major League Soccer on Wednesday.
Rooney's goal gave DC United a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC and kept them firmly on course for MLS post-season. The former England and Manchester United star Rooney curled in free-kick from 30 yards in the 18th minute to earn the points for his team.
Rooney arrived in DC United in July. The 32-year-old former England captain called time on his Premier League career earlier this year after leaving Everton. When Rooney arrived, United were bottom of the Eastern Conference with only two wins from 14 fixtures, but since then the capital club has surged up the table into the postseason reckoning.

The victory leaves United four points clear of Montreal Impact, their closest rivals for a playoff spot, with 47 points from 32 games in the Eastern Conference standings. Montreal, who are just outside the postseason places in seventh, have 43 points from 42 games.
United are now unbeaten in eight games and are in control of their playoff destiny with two rounds of fixtures in the regular season left to play.
