Wayne Rooney breaks Sir Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record with 250th Manchester United goal

The Red Devils captain struck late on at the bet365 Stadium to salvage a draw for Jose Mourinho's side

The stoppage time equaliser, a free-kick, was the Red Devils captain's first goal in 15 Premier League games and cancelled out Juan Mata's own goal.

It salvaged some joy from an otherwise frustrating afternoon for United, breaking the Potters' resistance in the 94th minute. Rooney also became the highest away goalscorer in Premier League history with 88.

Whipped in with pace from the left side of the penalty area, Lee Grant was helpless to prevent the ball nestling into the top right corner.
