LONDON (Reuters) - Wayne Rooney scored twice, the first an astonishing 58-metre volleyed contender for Goal of the Season, as Manchester United won their second game in four days by brushing aside West Ham United 2-0 at Upton Park on Saturday.

The two first-half goals moved Rooney, 28, above Jack Rowley into third place on United's all-time scoring chart with 212 behind Bobby Charlton (249) and Denis Law (237).
