'Outstanding', 'Wow' – Everton fans rave about one player after draw v Liverpool
Everton captain Wayne Rooney today proved that class is permanent, as his penalty earned the Toffee’s a point at Anfield.
Everton were sturggling at 1-0 down before the England record goal-scorer found the net with a cool penalty, making this Rooney’s fifth goal in his last six starts versus Liverpool.
The point means that Everton remain undefeated under new manager Sam Allardyce, and fans were quick to head to twitter to praise the veteran striker.
Here are a few of the best reactions from Everton fans:

Rooney has scored the same amount of goals as Lukaku and cost 75 million pound less.

DCL's running, Rooney's vision & composure, Allardyce's organisation, & Klopp's arrogance. Honourable mention to Gueye. Outstanding #LIVEVE

Rooney’s antics even caught the eye of another set of fans, who had their own derby to worry about!
Chants of "Rooney Rooney" go up from The Stretford End. Obviously following the action elsewhere.

Manchester United fans must have been thankful for their club record goal-scorer to find the net against Liverpool, and ultimately cost them two important Premier League points.
