WAYNE ROONEY SHINES FOR EVERTON

By -






Wayne Rooney's first goal back in blue inspired boyhood club Everton to a narrow opening-weekend victory against Stoke. 

The former Manchester United player was cheered the loudest before a surprisingly energetic first half got under way, with a lackluster opening period eventually sparking into life in stoppage time.

After 13 record-breaking years at Manchester United, the 31-year-old made the ideal mark on his Premier League homecoming.

 Everton had earlier struggled for fluidity as Ronald Koeman fielded five new signings from the outset, with Jordan Pickford comfortable in claiming a clean sheet.

 Both teams began with three at the back and it was the away side who looked more incisive early, targeting the space in behind Everton's wing-backs.

Rooney struck with his first and only chance in the 44 minutes close to half-time. Dominic Calvert-Lewin crossed from the right, and Rooney was free to pick his spot with a header.
Aside from a couple of shots from distance by Idrissa Gueye, it was the first time Stoke keeper Jack Butland had been occupied.

JULY 12 TH : WHAT LIES IN DEATH? 'Love is a form of pain. It is a drug: it could get you high and watch you fall really low. It can keep you in a limbo and serve you difficult questions on the platter of a quest. It is in those moments when you hunger for the answers that you become someone else, a monster, a human being, or simply a skeptic perhaps worst of all, dead. This is what Inala Felix's July 12 th : The Movie directed by Onome Egba stages in the mind of the viewers but you can never be too sure because in the game of love and mental health, there is not a single stable story as every thought in you asks: what do you believe? Starring Chinonso Ukah as Jumoke and Tony as Doctor Oche, July 12th brings to life the imaginative coherence in the sc

According to the  Express , by George Simpson AVENGERS INFINITY WAR saw Captain America killed by Thanos, but was brought back with the Time Stone, claims an amazing new theory in the wake of Avengers 4. In the climax of Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War, Thanos arrived in Wakanda ready to pluck the Mind Stone from Vision’s head. During his walk towards him, the Avengers tried to stop Thanos, but he swatted them aside with ease. This included Captain America boldly holding him by the Infinity Gauntlet before received a massive blow to the back of the head. Now a popular new fan theory claims that hit actually killed Steve Rogers, only for Thanos to resurrect him just so he could reform Vision and take the Mind Stone. Thanos ended his short battle with Cap with a punch to the back of the head. “Many wondered how Cap recovered in mere seconds from a punch that even took out the Hulk and the most logical explanation is that he didn’t. “As Thanos used the time stone

Rafael Nadal will finish 2017 as year-end number one in the Emirates ATP Rankings after beating Hyeon Chung 7-5, 6-3 on Wednesday in the second round of the Rolex Paris Masters. The 31-year-old Nadal will be the oldest year-end number one and first season-ending number one over the age of 30 since the Emirates ATP Rankings were established in 1973.
