2. Wayne Rooney (28 appearances: 12 goals, 7 assists)
A 16-year-old Wayne Rooney burst onto the scene with a stunning strike for Everton against Arsenal back in October 2002 and the spud-headed England star has never looked back. Rooney also netted in the return fixture at Highbury before a big-money move to Manchester United, where he has added ten goals and 7 assists against Arsene Wenger’s men. Rooney’s figures are boosted by a hat-trick in United’s rampaging 8-2 victory in 2011 and he scored one and made the other in the infamous 2-0 win in October 2004, dubbed the Battle of the Buffet.
