VIDEO: Wayne Rooney draws Manchester United level with overhead kick

The 53rd minute of the season opener between Manchester United and Swansea City saw Wayne Rooney throw it back to February 2011.
Sort of.
After Juan Mata floated a corner kick into the box, Phil Jones flicked the ball across goal to Rooney, who proceeded to throw himself into the air and blast home a right-footed overhead kick to level the score at 1-1.
Rooney's equalizer marks an impressive achievement for the 28-year-old...
... and he's now scored just as many goals as three of United's greatest-ever players combined.
