Wayne Rooney third in Premier League all-time goalscoring list

 

Wayne Rooney's goal against West Ham moved him into 3rd place in the EPL scoring charts

 

 .

The Manchester United forward scored his 176th league goal, moving him ahead of Thierry Henry.

He is now behind only Newcastle legend Alan Shearer on 260 and and former United striker Andy Cole on 187

The 28-year-old has scored 161 of his Premier League goals for United, with 15 coming for his first club, Everton.

That included his first and possibly most memorable goal against Arsenal at Goodison Park in 2002, when he curled the ball past David Seaman from 30 yards and forced us to 'remember the name'.
