Wayne Rooney prevents Sunderland from creating history at Plymouth with a thrilling first-league victory.

Wayne Rooney’s stunning victory over league leaders Sunderland at the end gave him his first league victory with Plymouth Argyle.

At Home Park on Saturday, the former England captain’s team defeated the fierce Black Cats 3-2 thanks to goals from Ryan Hardie, Dan Ballard, and Joe Edwards in the closing moments.

Romaine Mundle’s goal four minutes from the end gave Sunderland a 2-2 lead, but Edwards’ late goal in the third minute of extra time gave Rooney and company the victory.

Plymouth’s lone victory of the year came last month,

when they defeated League Two Cheltenham Town 3-0 in the League Cup’s opening round.

And now that the league season has lasted five games,

Rooney has finally tallied three points.

Because it was against Sunderland, who were at the top of the standings,

the victory will taste much sweeter.

The Wearside team had won the season’s first four games.

It would have been the first time in their history that they had won their opening five league games of the season if they had prevailed at Home Park.

Considering that the Black Cats have won the English Championship six times in its 144-year history,

that is an amazing accomplishment.

They thought they were going to do it when Patrick Roberts scored a penalty kick in the 24th minute.

But despite Edwards’ late goal, Regis Le Bris’ team was unable to recover.

“There is always a relief, but I am very pleased for the players because they have put in a lot of work from pre-season to now,”

Rooney remarked in an interview with talkSPORT following the game.

in addition to the fans. I believe that our performances over the past several weeks have shown the supporters what we have been attempting to accomplish. However, receiving a positive outcome always helps,

so I am happy for the players and the supporters alike.”

When Rooney was appointed manager of Plymouth after managing Birmingham City,

there were some questions.

Even though the Blues had a great start to the season,

the Manchester United icon replaced John Eustace at St Andrew’s close to the beginning of previous season.

In the fifteen games he managed,

he managed to win just two and lose nine.

Birmingham was demoted to League One at the end of the season,

and Rooney was fired in January.

Rooney is now hoping that his managing career will take a different turn after Saturday’s victory.

With the win, Plymouth moves up to 16th in the standings,

while Sunderland remains at the top with one point more than Blackburn in second place.
