Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has become the third player to reach 100 Premier League assists.
Rooney reached the milestone after former team-mate Ryan Giggs and ex-West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester City player Frank Lampard were the previous men to get to three figures.
The 31-year-old set up Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s two first-half goals against Swansea on Sunday, the first of which was the 25,000th strike in the Premier League’s history.
Rooney has played in England’s top-flight since making his debut for Everton in August 2002.
100 – Wayne Rooney has become the third player to assist 100 Premier League goals (after Ryan Giggs and Frank Lampard). Creative.
