Wayne Rooney scores majestic free kick

Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney scored a jaw-dropping free kick Wednesday night against Toronto FC that may prove to be one of the biggest goals of DC United's season.

Rooney's sensational strike from well outside the penalty area proved to be the difference in a 1-0 win. DC United is clinging to the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference, but the victory over Toronto gave them a four-point advantage over seventh-place Montreal with two games left to play. For Rooney, the goal was his sixth in his last five matches.
