The Need for Speed – Counter Attacking in Soccer

Two incredible counter attack goals by Manchester United. One by Wayne Rooney and one by Cristiano Ronaldo. Who scored the goal faster? It turns out both were clocked in at 9.2 seconds. Apparently these two goals are mentioned at the end of chapter 16 of  The Mixer, a book by Michael Cox. Manchester United had quite a team with Ronaldo and Rooney together. They are certainly missed now by Manchester United fans. What’s funny about these two amazingly fast counter attacking goals: the opposing team in both situations is Arsenal. Take a look at the video below.

Here’s another exceptional counter attack goal from Rooney.
