The former Manchester United captain made no mistake from the spot after Dejan Lovren had been pulled up for a shove on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. 

Liverpool were incensed by the call, which helped Everton earn a point in Sunday’s derby at Anfield. 

With goals this season against Manchester City and now the Reds, moreover, Rooney continues to do damage against United’s biggest rivals. 

Once a Red, always a Red, was the cry from Twitter, while supporters of Jurgen Klopp’s beleaguered troops were less than amused - some with the decision, and others with Lovren’s less than exemplary defending!
