After a barren 2015, Wayne Rooney just can't stop scoring this year.

The Manchester United captain helped his side pick up all three points at Anfield on Sunday with a late winner, and in doing so he set a new Premier League record. Rooney now has 176 league goals for Man United, the most any player has ever scored for one team in the Premier League, eclipsing Thierry Henry's record set during his time at Arsenal. United fans were quick to mark the achievement. https://twitter.com/JuanMataTouch/status/688750987574685696 https://twitter.com/ja_swifty/status/688763612886884352 https://twitter.com/jonacr13/status/688762918859616256

But Arsenal fans didn't feel that the record was a true reflection of the players' abilities.
