scoring his 200th Premier League goal in Everton's 1-1 draw at the
Etihad Stadium on Monday.
The former Manchester United captain broke the deadlock 10 minutes
before half-time, placing Dominic Calvert-Lewin's cross beneath City
goalkeeper Ederson.
Rooney wheeled away in front of the home support with his hands
cupped to his ears, prompting plenty of angry responses from the
stands.
And England's record goalscorer aimed a further jibe at those from the
blue half of Manchester via his personal Twitter account, writing
"Always nice to see a few familiar faces" alongside a picture of him
celebrating.
A photograph later circulated showing Rooney celebrating a United
goal on the same ground and in front of the same section of
supporters in 2012, with a handful of City fans spotted in the same
seats as they were on Monday.
Rooney teased Pep Guardiola's side after the match when, having
been asked on Sky Sports what it was like to score against City for
the ninth time in the top flight, he replied: "What, again?"
City drew level late in the second half through Raheem Sterling but
they have now gone three games without a league win over Everton.
