Zola on Rooney

Last updated : 25 February 2010 By Plymouth_hammer

Rooney netted two sublime headers following great attacking moves, his first coming to break a decent spell of domination for the Hammers in the first half.

“I described Wayne Rooney as a King Midas,” said Zola.  “Everything he touches now turns into gold.  He's in the type of form where every opportunity can turn up a goal.  

“I thought he had a normal game tonight but he still scored two goals and could've got another one. That says a lot about the player.”
