One must call a spade a spade and therefore one must call Wayne Rooney’s dive against Preston well, a dive. With the score at 2-1 to the Red Devils and time almost up, Preston ‘keeper Thorsten Stuckman raced out of his goal as Rooney chased a ball into the box.

Rooney then fired home the spot-kick to secure the win and send the Red Devils into the last eight.
