VIDEO: Rooney takes advantage of Newcastle's hilariously open defense
Reuters
Manchester United lead Newcastle 2-0 heading into the halftime interval, with a pair of goals from Wayne Rooney doing the damage.
His first was a wonderfully worked counter-attack involving Juan Mata and Radamel Falcao. His second, meanwhile, was a exhibit in poor defending from Newcastle.
Pro tip: Get close to the player you're trying to stop from scoring.
The Red Sea wasn't that wide open.
