Everton's Wayne Rooney receives a pass from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and scores to give his side a 1-0 lead over Man City. The goal is Rooney's 200th in the Premier League.

Wayne Rooney’s first half goal against old rivals Manchester City made the Everton man just the second player in Premier League history to score 200 goals.

The 31-year-old Rooney now sits 60 goals behind Newcastle legend Alan Shearer on the all-time list.

Rooney scored 183 of his PL goals for Manchester United, netting 15 before moving to Old Trafford and now two since his return to Goodison Park.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin had been lively all game and squared for Rooney, who blasted into the box and into a yard of space given by John Stones to side-foot a class finish between Ederson’s legs.

Man City’s Kyle Walker took a pair of quick yellow cards late in the half to further Man City’s plight.

Shearer is happy to have company:
